Carol Perkins: The Butter Bean Episode Previous Column: Yo-Yo triggers fond memories By Carol Perkins Nobody enjoys food the way Guy (my husband) does. When working, he doesn't have to look at the clock to know it is time to find a place to eat. He has traveled for his work all our married life, so he knows the best places in each city from here to Johnson City to Birmingham to Memphis. His favorite place is in Huntsville at a place called "Rose's." He even brought home a t-shirt. He values mealtime. Because he eats out so much, I cook more often than I want. If I had my way, I'd never cook another meal, but being the good wife that I am and knowing how much eating means to him, I try to accommodate. After all, he has had an abundance of accommodating to do since 1967. All of this brings me to what I am calling "The Butter Bean Episode," starring Guy Perkins.
