NOTES : Five summers ago my best friend, Betty Keane, and I went on a trek to visit her mother in Mississippi. This was the summer after my mother had passed away and the idea of visiting "mom" meant a great deal to me.

Additionally Betty and I were celebrating having completed our first masters, these were in reading. It was my first trip to Mississippi and we even managed side trips to New Orleans, LA and Pensacola, FL while there.

It was a WONDERFUL visit and we ate all kinds of wonderful home cooking! It was especially meaningful later when Betty called me one afternoon fall to tell me that her mom had passed away. I quickly replied, "Your mom will never really die...Im cooking her pot roast!" Enjoy Bettys moms pot roast!! Magnificent! Easy! And with your cooking of it, life goes on!!
