a cooking lesson with mrs. heare

Last night, on a rainy Sunday evening, I packed up my daughter, camera and notepad and visited my dear friend Emily and her ever so sweet mother, Mrs. Heare- who promised me long ago that she'd teach me to make Chicken & Dumplings. I was very excited about this because
a) I have been waiting a long time to learn this beloved southern dish and
b) It wasn't being taught by any ol' lady (or book for that matter). I was getting a lesson from the truest southern lady I know- in every good sense of the word.
What a treat!

For the record, it was really, really, (I mean really) good. They sent me home with leftovers which Mom, Gen and I quickly took care of (that same night).

Thanks Heares!!!
