I'm reading the 1950 Federal Census, and have been since it was released, unindexed, at 12:01 a.m. , April 1, 2022. Why, you ask? Because I am looking, not for my family, but for the enumeration of this person: Edna Lewis Kingston. Surely you, too, recognize her name.

Or you may not, if you are like so many in the culinary world who "know," her, and revere her, as "Miss Lewis" or "Edna Lewis."

Please make and bake "her" Peach Cobbler from luscious homegrown freestones, soon to be at their seasonal prime, and, with each reverential forkful, contemplate her legacy as you presume to think you know it.
