This is a deep cut, but can you identify a Southern woman writer/storyteller who had a very telling anecdote on Prairie Home Companion years ago? (Yes, I know, but he always had good guests.)

I don't remember what episode it was; I just remember that it was many years ago. The lady was talking about how she'd just been up scrubbing her freezer because one of her kids had left a can of Diet Coke in there to chill, and it had exploded: "And I said to myself, Umberto Eco ain't doin' this."

I thought that was a great line, and later in life I have had many occasions to say it to myself, as a woman and a writer. But I couldn't tell you who this person was. Could you?
