Loosening the Bible Belt

Bless your heart — Southern Sugah’
Pecan pies love clouds,
smothered and smothered in peaks
— fresh whipped cream, Darlin’
Sinful recipe — 
sweet lil’ hymn.
Ma’am!

From Wikipedia: The Bible Belt is an informal region in the Southern United States in which socially conservative evangelical Protestantism plays a strong role in society and politics, and Christian church attendance across the denominations is generally higher than the nation's average.

That in theory, should accomplish it but, I have a feeling it won't. A truly enjoyable piece; now I want pecan pie.

Whenever people get together in faith there is bound to be delish food. If I got that right. Have a great day Kim

Haha after eating all that one would have to loosen ones belt. Apple pie and fresh cream is my downfall, that's it no more about food, must go for a run.
