In addition to writing a weekly newspaper column since 1949, native Iowan Evelyn Birkby has been a writer and broadcaster for KMA Radio and Kitchen-Klatter, part of the longest-running homemaker program in the history of radio.
"Evelyn Birkby, famous as a radio homemaker, is also the dean of
Iowa newspaper columnists, having written lifestyle columns for
sixty-three years without ever missing a week. This book is like
Evelyn's Greatest Hits. It's also a highly entertaining
folk-history of the Midwest from 1949 to the present."--Iowa writer
Chuck Offenburger
"I began to smile as soon as I started to read this collection of
columns by Evelyn Birkby, gleaned from 63 years of publication in
the same southwestern Iowa newspaper. The author invites us to
share the everyday lives of folks in a rural community where they
all had so much in common, from looking after those who were less
fortunate to exchanging recipes--sometimes not successfully--and
yes, there is a great recipe for fried green tomatoes. Reading
these chatty columns is like having a friend you have known all
your life come to visit you. Indeed, this collection serves as a
conduit for bridging the gap that separates us one from another.
Read it and enjoy!"--Mildred Armstrong Kalish, author, Little
Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm during the
Great Depression
