    Mac and Cheese is one of those dishes that is deceptively hard. Sounds easy in theory, but with so many ways to make it, and everybody's preference different, very hard to make in bulk.

    I make the pork chops cooked long in the gravy sometimes. Did it last week. Love that. I've made collards, which I liked. But I need to try them prepared by a soul food cook to see what the product is supposed to be. All the recipes say you have to cook them for hours, and I just don't think that's necessary. My mac & cheese game is OK. My fried chicken is OK. Got a story, though. I'm Gen X, born in 1969. And when I was young there was a presence of black culture in mainstream media. Good Times, Red Foxx, Car Wash, Earth Wind & Fire, just disco in general. And Some of the 70's I was living in New York. So I had heard of soul food, though I did not know what the term meant. And my parents did not bring us kids to church, so I had no idea what the theological concept of a soul was. It was just something inside you. Conflating the two concepts, I thought the soul was an organ, like your liver, or something.

    I’ll be honest, I’m more of a cake person, but for pie out of those two I’d go with pumpkin.

    I grew up eating pumpkin pie exclusively, but I tried sweet potato pie within the past couple years, and it was soooooo good! I love both, but that sweet potato pie had the better flavor.
