I had never heard of Garden and Gun. If you haven't either, do look them up. It's like Southern Living magazine on steriods.

Debbie, isn't that the truth...they do kind of re-center you. I'm not very introspective so it made me stop and think. I love the rock star answer! :) Ummm, creamed squash....love it, too! I bet Paula is serving some of that up today in Savannah. ;)
Here are Jane's answers to the questions.

1. Favorite Cocktail: Margarita. Or nice chilly glass of pinot grigio
