Mrs. Justawful has requested that I make a guess for her.

I am drawing a blank on creating a new question. If anyone can think of a good one, feel free to take my place.

The two titles I am thinking about, share a food color. The first, brings childish delight to a breakfast and the second calls to mind an older woman telling stories of her youth.

Sorry, no it's not chocolate. A color not flavor.

well I guess the Fannie Flagg one is Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe .... but I don't know the Theodor Geisel one without looking it up - which is against the rules, right?

Since Geisel is Dr. Seuss, I'll guess Green Eggs and Ham to go with Hegley's Fried Green Tomatoes Yum Yum

Go ahead and post the next one, Hegley.
