My passion is food not politics. I just listen to people and then I go and get their iced tea.

We have a very loyal following. Our customers tend to be more intelligent about food and they're more concerned about whether we have fresh herbs and use free-range eggs.

I've always been a servant at heart. I like watching people enjoy a healthy meal. We, as Southerners, use food as a way of life.

There was currant toast squishy with butter, caramel-marshmallow squares, strawberry boats oozing custard, chocolate exclairs that exploded with cream when the cats bit into them with their little white teeth and-- a special treat for Pleasant-- a pie made from thick slices of Bramley apple, with just the right amount of tangy in the tangy-sweet.

People like passion in politics.

The most popular flavors are coconut, strawberry and Thai tea. But I will also have things like taro and passion fruit, too.
