McCullers' meals

Finally getting to read Sherill Tippins' February House and am loving every page...
Most alarming to Auden, meals turned out to be equally casual. Carson enjoyed playing chef, but her menus were limited to such dishes as meat patties, canned green pea soup with wienies, and a concoction she called "Spuds Carson"--mashed potatoes mixed with onions, cheese, or whatever she found in the larder. Even these were often burnt to the consistency of charcoal, since Carson tended to wander off and forget that she was cooking.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Have a copy and have yet to get to it.
