Well, most of the book is comfort food.
There's a lot of butter.
I've got so many in there. It's probably the red rice. You know, growing up on the coast of South Carolina, just anywhere in the South, there's so much red rice. And it has its roots in Jolof rice of West Africa. But it's super... jammy and a little spicy and salty.
And I had it almost every day growing up at Stiles Point Elementary School on Michael Drive on James Island, South Carolina, which is still there. And there were just barrels of it being cooked every day by those lunch ladies. And I never got tired of it. And right before this book, I actually found a way to make it based on an Alison Roman recipe.
that I said, ooh, that sauce she's making for the pasta actually has the flavor I remember as a child from this red rice. And I tried it and it worked. And that discovery of being able to get that flavor back from my childhood, those carefree years is what that rice gives me.
Yes.
And that's what COVID did. We were back there in Charleston on that island with our families, with the people who had taught us to make these recipes. and made these for us when we were children, and with those ingredients from that field and that creek. And it was a terrible time that had in it this gift to us for us to slow down, go home, and remember.
Which we had been so afraid to do, or at least I had been afraid to do, because I was so nervous the first time Evie was on that she wouldn't have a good time. It's actually made it to air, her going, oh, my God, you're trembling. I'm like, I'm afraid this is going to be a bad experience for you because I'm bossy.
And an enormous amount of work, and I just could not be more – I could not have more admiration for the people who do this for a living because we had no idea what a huge undertaking is to do all these books. A lot of detail in a cookbook. Oh, my God. Three years to do this.
You really do. It makes a difference.
Yes, by a lot of people.
Six ways to Sunday. It went through us. We'd make it many times. And then through our niece, Lucy.
Our niece, Lucy Wickman, was fabulous. She helped test it, everything.
And then all of that would go on to Chris Styler, who is a professional test kitchen, essentially. And he would say, is this what it's supposed to look and taste like? And we'd go, no. And then he would say, then you need to rewrite this recipe. Yeah.
How does it feel to be sued by a former president for defamation for just doing your job?
That's right, the Pakistani company Axe Act was selling fake college diplomas, which explains where Bin Laden got his degree in women's studies. Luckily, Pakistani authorities arrested the Axe Act CEO, charging him with illegal money transfers, forgery, and fraud. No doubt he'll represent himself in court. I hear he's got like 20 law degrees. Well, I for one, I'm glad they caught the guy.
Charging people hundreds of thousands of dollars for fake degrees is appalling. I believe that fake college should be free.
