My late wife never voted. She said they were all corrupt and voting was about the same as choosing which buzzard is going to dine on your carcass.<\/p>\n
She did her politics through volunteerism. At the local hospital, making cookies for on-duty deputies, firefighters and EMT\/rescue crews. Her oatmeal raisin cookies were notorious. She plumped the raisins in red or white wine depending on which raisin she used. She cooked and served at the local soup kitchen. I often donated venison as I always filled my limit. It served more than soup but my wife\u2019s ham and mixed bean soup was always a big hit. And her cornbread (scratch, not a mix) was beloved by southern transplants. She got me to go down around Mardi Gras and make jambalaya, shrimp etoufee, gumbo, and red beans and rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
