The Traveling Tote Girls have teamed up
to share something tasty from our own town or region.
Most of you know my darling friend, Rita @ Panoply.
She is one of the Traveling Tote Girls
and was my swap partner for our
and was my swap partner for our
Taste of Our Town Swap.
In addition to our shared passion for MacKenzie-Childs,
Rita and I share a love of gardening, antiques, travel,
cooking, and setting a pretty table.

Rita lives in Charleston, WV, and sent
me some delicious treats from J. Q. Dickinson.
J.Q.Dickinson is America's oldest working salt farm
that harvests salt by hand from an ancient ocean trapped
below the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia.
A jar of Ramp salt gives the true flavor of Appalicia
and is much appreciated by "the chef" who does the cooking here.
A decorative egg shaped box contained a jar of
yummy caramel sauce, of which I've treated myself
to each time I've had a little ice cream.
YUM YUM!
Pawpaw Butter!
I'd never heard of Pawpaw Butter,
but let me tell you, it makes a perfect topping
on my morning biscuits, tasting a bit like mango and banana.
I learned that Pawpaw fruit is native to eastern
United States and Canada, and is a staple in West Virginia.
Look for a future post devoted to Pawpaw.

Included in my gift package
were a Junior Leage Cookbook,
MOUNTAIN MEASURES, first published in 1974
and the February 2018 issue of Southern Living.
Shaker Lemon Pie
For the crust, I opened my Houston Junior League Cookbook
for my favorite go to recipe, "No Fail Pie Crust."
When there is food involved, this girl
isn't far from the action.
I admit I, too, was eager for this pie to come out of the oven.
I'd never had Shaker Lemon Pie!
To reward my efforts and to take a break from spring gardening,
I fixed a little afternoon treat to enjoy on the sun porch.
Oh, my! What a treat it was!
Wow! This pie, with its sharp tangy flavor
and chewy texture, is totally addicting!
To quench my thirst, Me and the Bees Lemonade
was the perfect beverage.
Go here to read about Mikaila Ulmer,
Austin's young entrepreneur,
who has taken her lemonade idea and turned
it into a thriving business.
On my way back inside, I couldn't resist adding a
petite bouquet of Summer Phlox from my garden.
The pinks are perfect with my MacKenzie-Childs ceramics.
