Suggest a future episode, or simply say hello [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2598076/fan_mail/new] Tonight, we wander into the warmth of a New Orleans kitchen, where coffee simmers slowly and the rhythm of the day has not yet begun.  In this episode of Southern Slumber, we'll settle into New Orleans, the same city that inspired writers like Tennessee Williams and musicians like Louis Armstrong. We'll settle into a a quieter, more intimate rhythm as I'll read you selections from The Picayune Creole Cookbook. I will begin with the cook book introduction and move slowly to the first chapter on coffee. Along the way, we drift through the rich traditions of Creole cooking -- where simple ingredients, careful preparation, and time itself create something deeply comforting.  The quiet rituals of the kitchen, the soft clink of cups and the slow brewing of coffee invite the mind to settle and the body to rest.  So dim the lights, get comfortable, and let yourself be carried into a peaceful Southern evening.

The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, by F. Scott Fitzgerald: Episode 2

Suggest a future episode, or simply say hello [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2598076/fan_mail/new] Welcome back to Southern Slumber, bedtime stories for sleep. Tonight, we continue F. Scott Fitzgerald's enchanting and mysterious Novella, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz.  As young John Unger settles into the incredible world of Percy Washington, he learns the history behind the family's unimaginable wealth and the secrets hidden deep within the Montana mountain.  Fitzgerald's novella unfolds like a dream. His writing is so exquisite --  in some sections it makes you want to hold that sentence, hold those words, as you cease to think anymore, but instead dream and give way to sleep.  So settle into your fluffy pillows and let your thoughts drift as you gently fall asleep.  Sweet dreams
