Speaking

I’m speaking in the morning at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum Senior Wednesday in downtown Wichita. I’m talking about food traditions and cookbooks. It should be fun.

I love doing things like this. Everytime I do one I reread my notes, get out the index cards, and start rearranging things. I always end up with a pile of notecards that wouldn’t make any sense to anyone but me, but there are words there that trigger things for me. One day… some day… I will do a speech from a pristine, printed, white piece of paper. But it will not be this day.

Everytime I do a speech I leave thinking, “oh, shoot, I forgot to talk about …” Or, “I wish I hadn’t spent so much time on…” But it all always comes out in the end. Or at least I think so. I guess Abby and Jami can tell me otherwise tomorrow!

If you’re in the area, drop in. Here’s the info they put on Facebook today – Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum Senior Wednesday, 6/23, 10am, $2 admission, “Cookbooks and Food Traditions” with Patsy Terrell. Discover the cultural influences behind some of our favorite regionally traditional foods, sample some local fair, and become inspired to preserve your family’s recipes for future generations. More about the amazing Patsy at www.patsyterrell.com.

Needless to say, they flatter me! I’m looking forward to it..
