“I told her I’d cook it, Jackson,” said Mae Thelma, hoeing the weeds in the garden. Jackson worked the soil on the other end. He’d just finished picking the first batch of turnip greens, and was about to put six more packages of turnip seeds in the ground for a second mess that would be ready to pick by late September.

Sprinkling the seeds, he smiled at Mae Thelma, saying, “Ginger don’t burn things too often. I managed to eat it anyway, even though it was a little tough.”

“It was tougher than puttin’ socks on a rooster. That’s how tough it was. And I refuse to eat food that ain’t prepared right.”

Ginger had insisted that she would cook dinner Friday evening. One of Jackson’s favorites. Liver and rice, smothered with onions, and broccoli and fluffy Bisquick biscuits. But problems had arisen at the office, and she was unable to leave as early as she’d planned. Scurrying around the kitchen, frantic about the lateness of the hour, Ginger had thrown pots on the stove as Mae Thelma watched, biding her time, knowing that dinner would be a disaster.
