“A Family Conversation” is a storytelling audio series that features weekly discussions between blogging cousins LadyG and Ron Brown on current events along with favorite posts from each other’s blog.
*******************************************************************
Unfortunately, we had to drop the 3rd cousin, Lady L, off to her own devices.
But you know the conversation between Ron and I marched on!
In part II we are talking about:
- Lucky black-eyed peas and links to Rosh Hashanah, African cowpeas, live-stock, enslaved people and the Confederacy
- “Throw away” foods during slavery
- What the hell? Ham hocks and ox tail, formerly throw away foods, cost waaaaaay too much these days.
- Indigenous people working together to farm for food and for healing.
- When Funeral Homes change into family homes or, even worse, restaurants
- From cess pools to a waterfalls
- “Hamlets” in Georgia? Really?
Of course, this conversation was inspired by my post on New Year’s traditions in the South.
