From the Kitchen of Verbena Fullbright
Sweet without salty is like hooting without hollering. They’re best together. Salt
brightens flavors and lifts the texture of a cake, helping it stand tall and proud. Doesn’t
everyone need a boost up every now and again?

Rooted deep within a woman’s complex DNA was the right to pick and
choose the traditions and societal conventions she followed. This was
especially true for matriarchs, the backbones, the older women who had
seen it all, heard it all, dealt with it all, and no longer gave a flying fig what
others thought. After years of living, of giving, of conforming, she now
played by a set of rules carefully crafted from experience.
I personally believed southern women took this notion to a whole other
level and kept that in mind as I studied my daddy’s older sister, Verbena
Fullbright, fondly known by those closest to her as Bean.
Sitting primly, properly, on a stool pulled up to a stainless steel counter,
Aunt Bean had her rounded shoulders drawn back, her head held high.
Earlier today she’d been to see her lawyer, old Mr. Stubblefield, so she
wore a long-sleeved leopard-print maxi dress and leather slingbacks instead
of her usual baking attire. Her hairstyle was a cross between a pixie cut and
a pompadour, the color of merlot. Her fingernails were painted black, a
polish that would surely raise eyebrows around town if the people here
didn’t know her and her funky style so well.
It was clear that even while feeling puny, Aunt Bean had stuck to her
own particular notions of what was right and proper. She’d never attend a
business meeting without wearing heels, even if her swollen feet had to be
wedged into the shoes.
