A good strong fresh cup of coffee is everything to an Ozark woman. She can have a list of chores a mile long and get it all done as long as she knows that fresh pot of coffee waits at the start and stop of the day.
The first thing that happens when company arrives is to brew a fresh pot of coffee and mix up a quick bread and put it in the oven.
She's so good at hosting that all of that can happen as if by magic as she ushers her guests gently to the screen porch.
That's called Ozark hospitality and it can't be matched.
