Ford County is a short story collection, heavy on lawyers because, as I think we all know, Grisham was one before he made it big in book world.
His tales, set in Clanton, Mississippi, introduce us to a disgruntled plaintiff, to an unambitious lawyer who wants to chuck it all, and more. In a story that still leaves me smiling, the biggest hustler in the county matches wits with the blandest man in town. And then there's the cigarette-puffing family that piles into a van to visit little brother in jail. Little brother has been busy behind bars, working on his literary career, his music career and his exoneration.
Just think how much poorer the world would be if John Grisham's Plan A (Be a baseball player!) had worked out.
Speaking of foiled Plan A's, the woman who submitted the following recipe to Taste of Home said she aimed to make a chicken caesar salad but looked in the freezer and found herself short on chicken. So she got creative and threw together:
I improvised on it myself, since I was missing a few supplies today. I baked 4 Tyson's chicken patties, divided a Caesar salad kit between my husband and myself and served the cut up patties on top. That takes the calorie count up to 605.
Added King's Hawaiian rolls. And we were happy.
