ARE YOU HUNGRY TONIGHT?

My friend Patty had asked about my vegetable soup recipe and she needed to know because of her grandson Casey (the Elvis aficionado). I told her that I had a cookbook with Elvis' favorite recipes and it's called Are You Hungry Tonight?. I think she thought I was kidding about the cookbook. Below is her e-mail response:

From PATTY BURCH:

OK. All of the Sajdyk children spent the night last night. Last night I was making vegetable soup for today. Casey went crazy over the smell of it, and wanted a bowl immediately (10 PM)! I told him the carrots and celery were not done yet. He wanted a cup as soon as it was done. I put everything in my soup that you do except for potatoes, oregano, basil – and – I add cabbage at the last. He saw that cabbage in it, and absolutely wanted no part of it. I told him I would give him a bowl without the cabbage – no deal ! Kallie chimed in and said, “MiMi, you lied to us; you put cabbage in it”. Lord have mercy. Next time I will leave the cabbage out, but I’ll bet they won’t trust me.

Were you kidding about the cookbook?

Let’s see. What other cookbooks could be about Elvis?
