We feel so privilaged to offer Mary Emma Allen's Country Kitchen columns, plus many of her other writings. She shares of her own family while she enlightens us of times past, and we can relate to her experiences as if we have known her forever. She seems to have a little window into our family histories and the things we treasure. I hope you enjoy her writing as much as I do. ~Brenda Hyde, Editor
