Oh, wow! You had me with this early line: "...I announced a contest for favorite potholders." In the long history of column writing and attempted reader engagement, this has to be one of the all-time best ideas. It's kind of like the name of the relatively new column by our pal, "Julie Gammack's Iowa Potluck." As a reader when you encounter such things, you just can't turn away. Keep 'em coming, Mary. It's going to be fun being on the same team with you.
Thank you, Mary. Your thoughts about pot holders spurred many thoughts about pot holders in my kitchen, my mom's kitchen, my aunt's kitchens, my sister's (and brother's) kitchens. Your writing is warm and cozy. Thank you!
