It's history and food. Love that combination. If you ever try Mr. Charlie's rolls or my mom's flan, let me know.

Love! Love! Love! Thanks for bringing back some great memories, Lisa, and the kind reference to my Tata's pita bread. I never had your mom's flan but did love Mr. Charlie's rolls. My parents insisted I get the hot lunch and sometimes that was all I ate of it. I've never forgotten them! We have Anne Byrn's book on order at the Chattanooga Public Library and it already has holds. I'll get a sneak peak when I receive it into the system!

Shoot! Anne was in Chattanooga today doing a book-signing. Sorry you missed it. This book is like none other. It’s a cookbook you’ll take to bed and read at night! Can’t wait to hear what you think. Pretty impressive that the book already has holds too.

Fabulous, Lisa! Thank you for sharing your mother’s flan recipe and the story of Mr. Charlie’s rolls. Small town life and baking is very much a part of the Southern story.
