Another Foraging in Oklahoma Signing
Thanks for understanding my need for some time off. Now, one more moment where I hope I’m not abusing your patience…
Chef Andrew Black and I will be signing our new book, Foraging in Oklahoma, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, at Full Circle Bookstore, 50 Penn Place. Hoping some of you might drop by – it’s been a wonderful project with a dear friend who I consider to be one of our state’s top chefs. His life story is pretty incredible, and the tales he shared with me for this book of the farming and ranching families he met searching for locally produced food are a wonderful snapshot of our state. It’s as if you’re hanging out with a Jamaican Anthony Bourdain. And the recipes he created from these trips – recipes he shares at the end of each chapter – are amazing!
I’ve enjoyed writing about history and urban development – truly passions for me. This book, however, was a great opportunity to stretch my writing style (writing in someone else’s voice!) and on a topic very different from my normal specialty. I am very thankful to Chef Black for trusting me with his stories.

Well we’re definitely not cool or hip or edgy enough to
go downtown to Flint. We do go to Midtown and eat at
the Brasil thing and they seem happy to see us even
though we’re not cool, edgy or artsy. We’re not sure
we’re cool enough to go to 50 Penn, but how about some
place that’s not cool or edgy. Like maybe a Chick Fil A?
One of these days if we lose some weight we would like
to go to the museum again and try to get Table 17 (long story) but we’ve packed on the pounds so the Mayor might
not be too happy and we’re drinking the 32 oz’ers out here
in the hinterlands while we can, even though they’re diet
we’re starting to worry about those too. Right now they
69 cents for a 32 oz at 7 eleven. Wait a minute. 7-11….hmmmm….
