Quotes by Coco McQ  (?)

“From Sashé Boudreaux:

It’s said a Cajun woman only needs three things in life, ’cause everything else worth havin’ flows right outta them:
a solid foundation (and I don’t mean makeup), a faithful man, and a good étouffée.
Mostly I agree… but they left out the beignets.
Truth is, life’s a recipe—stir slow, season well, and always set an extra place at the table.
You never know who might come along needing a kind ear, a soft place to land, and something warm in their belly.”
Coco McQ, Sashé Boudreaux: Beignets, Bones, and Buried Secrets

“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
