I guess if you know about the biscuit pan you understand ... if not, well, you've missed out on something special in life.Buckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885809053657026847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-55699440045146637892007-07-28T20:03:00.000-05:002007-07-28T20:03:00.000-05:00Sorry Mark.

Her garden, preserving, and hogs kept 3 families fed during the Depression. She had the biscuit pan too. I didn't inherit it. ;-(<BR/><BR/>When I was 12, she taught me how to make her cornbread dressing. Every Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Decoration day for the last 40 years (except for a few after in-laws started demanding equal time) I've been in charge of the dressing.<BR/><BR/>During the years I was homesteading, my goal was to be just like my grandmother.TexasWrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300895218799650405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-70678739235238677342007-07-28T19:24:00.000-05:002007-07-28T19:24:00.000-05:00Mark mark mark.

I tried. And discovered just how mean-spirited one of my neighbors was.<BR/><BR/>And who doesn't love lasagne?<BR/><BR/>Anyway ...<BR/><BR/>I really was cheating a bit -- although not in any sort of malicious way. I really didn't give a food ingredient.<BR/><BR/>Just recounting some memories.<BR/><BR/>I'll share one more, just because I'm in the mood ...<BR/><BR/>One of my grandmother's favorite sayings was "die full."<BR/><BR/>Food was an important part of her life. She grew up very poor in the Piney Woods of East Texas. Often went to bed hungry and there were times of starvation.<BR/><BR/>Being able to feed her family was a great joy.<BR/><BR/>Her constant saying was: "You never know when the Lord is going to take you or how long the journey is going, to be so you better die full."<BR/><BR/>It was her excuse for feeding us to excess when she could.Buckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885809053657026847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-43842289899669256152007-07-28T19:15:00.000-05:002007-07-28T19:15:00.000-05:00Well dagnabbit!
