Food: Homegrown Tomatoes Taste Better (Video)
August 31, 2018
My Dad was a sharecropper through late his preteen years before his family moved to Tuskegee. The farmer in him meant we would have a pretty big garden every year, overflowing with tomatoes. They were not heirloom tomatoes like these, but those ‘maters did taste different. Guess that is no surprise. Homegrown vs. storebought, you know… It’s just that this video gives a ‘fullness’ to the argument that I cosign. Check it out.
Ever wonder why homegrown tomatoes taste so much better than ones you buy in a store? Renowned seed saver and farmer John Coykendall hits it out of the park with this explanation – and shows how heirloom veggies, like tomatoes, link us to our ancestors!

August 14, 2018
This is beautiful all by itself. The Sister-Mother chef will school on all kinds of foodie knowledge (esp. gumbo). But I just needed to hear ONE thing (that I have known since my elders taught me): Okraaaaaa! Gumbo means OKRAAAAA! Facts.
(Full disclosure: I love okra.)
What goes into an authentic Louisiana Gumbo? In restaurants, kitchens, and cookbooks all over America, you find menu items masquerading as Louisiana Gumbo. So, how do you know it’s the real thing? The iconic Queen of Creole Cuisine, New Orleans Chef Leah Chase has the scoop on gumbo and shows us at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant.
Watch this video to make sure your next bowl is the real deal.
