YALL Festival

YALL Festival, King St., Charleston, S.C.

Downtown King St. is happy chaos this morning and the YALL Festival appears to be the cause of it. People are lined up around the block from the American Theater and Blue Bicycle Book Store waiting for their turn. I guess people do still read! How exciting that this many people want to mix, mingle and meet authors and get books signed.

I am off to make black bean soup. I've been on a soup kick lately. Mushroom, potato, chicken ginger and now black bean. Love them all. Let me know if you have any other winning recipes I should try.
