Description

"I likes to do fer a man. An' I must say I kinda likes the menfolks, despite all their unfortunate faults of design." So declares irrepressible Myrtle Flowers after arriving uninvited, one cold January afternoon, in the Iowa farm kitchen of shy widower Abner Holmes. "I Likes To Talk" covers a year in the life of Myrtle Flowers, a 78-year-old divorced farm wife, all from her ribald, fun-loving, and colloquial point of view. She tells it as she lives it! Myrtle, with her white hair and baby-blue rhinestone cat's-eye spectacles, has her own irreverent spark and unconventional spunk. In January, Myrtle goes to keep house for farmer Abner, turning his quiet life upside-down. Through the year, Myrtle talks her way through good times and tragedies, endearing herself to friends and acquaintances with her humor and generosity. As Abner and his bachelor son Dennis soon learn, Myrtle is a force of nature! Join Myrtle in "I Likes To Talk" for a humorous romp in the apron pocket of a down-to-earth senior with a zest for life! Many of Myrtle's stick-to-yer-ribs home-cookin' recipes are included as an appendix, arranged chronologically as they appear in the story. Myrtle has added own her warm and zany commentary to each recipe, and says: "I's sure yer mouth will be waterin' as yeh read about my home cookin'. I didn't include ALL my recipes in this appendix, though, jes' a few what I thought yeh might like t' have. I's a Iowa farm wife, after all, an' not a sexy cookbook author, heh heh heh!"
