There’s a part of me that sometimes wonders if I was meant to be born in the heart of the South. Perhaps Louisiana, or maybe the charming landscapes of Georgia or Mississippi. As my kitchen fills with the aromas of comforting, soulful dishes, it certainly feels like a Southern Thanksgiving is unfolding right here. Just a few days ago, my dear friend Sarah – who, like me, doesn’t hail from the South – texted me with exciting news. She was planning to make my Cornbread Stuffing with Bacon and Sage and the Literally the Best Mac and Cheese I’ve Ever Had for her Thanksgiving feast. She joked that I was making her more Southern than she’d ever been, a delightful observation considering mac and cheese wasn’t even on my family’s traditional Thanksgiving menu growing up!
Speaking of Sarah, a quick tangent: she’s originally from West Virginia. Now, is that truly “Southern”? Sarah, if you’re reading this, why haven’t I heard a Southern accent from you all these years? We often laugh about our college days when Sarah introduced herself to a new friend as being from West Virginia, only for the friend to ask, “Oh, you mean western Virginia, like the western part of the state?” Sarah’s patient reply, “No, West Virginia is a state,” remains a fond memory and a testament to geographic misunderstandings.
