Alabama's history and culture revealed through fourteen iconic foods, dishes, and beverages

The Story of Alabama in Fourteen Foods explores well-known Alabama food traditions to reveal salient histories of the state in a new way. In this book that is part history, part travelogue, and part cookbook, Emily Blejwas pays homage to fourteen emblematic foods, dishes, and beverages, one per chapter, as a lens for exploring the diverse cultures and traditions of the state.

Throughout Alabama's history, food traditions have been fundamental to its customs, cultures, regions, social and political movements, and events. Each featured food is deeply rooted in Alabama identity and has a story with both local and national resonance. Blejwas focuses on lesser-known food stories from around the state, illuminating the lives of a diverse populace: Poarch Creeks, Creoles of color, wild turkey hunters, civil rights activists, Alabama club women, frontier squatters, Mardi Gras revelers, sharecroppers, and Vietnamese American shrimpers, among others. A number of Alabama figures noted for their special contributions to the state's foodways, such as George Washington Carver and Georgia Gilmore, are profiled as well. Alabama's rich food history also unfolds through accounts of community events and a food-based economy. Highlights include Sumter County barbecue clubs, Mobile's banana docks, Appalachian Decoration Days, cane syrup making, peanut boils, and eggnog parties.

Drawing on historical research and interviews with home cooks, chefs, and community members cooking at local gatherings and for holidays, Blejwas details the myths, legends, and truths underlying Alabama's beloved foodways. With nearly fifty color illustrations and fifteen recipes, The Story of Alabama in Fourteen Foods will allow all Alabamians to more fully understand their shared cultural heritage.

Great replacement set of wiper blades for 2024 CR-V! Work great & easy replacement!
Size: 24"+19"+10"(Top Lock)
Excellent wiper blade set for my 2024 Honda CR-V - a perfect fit! Easy to replace the front blades and these are very quiet and do a great job with no streaking at all. Instructions included for the front blades are good. Either lost or couldn't find the rear window instructions, so went on YT for a quick video (for removing the old blade - installation is super easy) and it was an easy replacement. Replaced OEM blades, and these are every bit as good and the price is good. Old blades lasted a couple years, don't think I'll wait that long this time - these are nice blades and easy to replace and worth replacing every year. Very smooth, no streaking, quiet... in short they work great! Recommend for your CR-V - per above they're as good or better than OEM blades. New year with new wiper blades!

Much higher quality then I ever expected at a great price
Size: 26"+17"+14"B(U/J Hook)
Perfect fit on my 2023 Mazda 3, they look and install exactly like the original OEM wipers but Mazda 3 can be a little tricky to install but if you search on the internet you will find plenty of helpful videos. They work really well without streaking or noise.

Excellent front wipers, rear slightly shorter than expected
Size: 22"+21"+11"(U/J Hook), Size: 22"+21"+11"(U/J Hook)
I purchased the 22", 21", and 11" windshield wiper blade set for my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The front windshield wipers (22" and 21") work perfectly—smooth, quiet, and they clean the glass very well with no streaks. Regarding the rear wiper (11"), it does work properly and gets the job done. However, it is slightly shorter than the one I previously had installed. To be fair, I did not measure my old rear wiper, but it appears the one on my vehicle was a 12" blade, even though this listing specifies 11". Overall, I’m satisfied with the performance, especially for the front wipers. Just keep in mind that the rear blade may be shorter than what you currently have installed, depending on your setup.
