Another recipe especially for anyone that ever had little ones that helped you cook and I think even the ones that didn't would enjoy this OLD Southern recipe. Have a good day and remember to speak to strangers, they may speak back and when you look into each other's eyes, one of you might recognize a long lost classmate or someone you worked with years ago.
Or they may say more and you end up making "conversation" remember what we used to do before COMPUTER'S - Facebook, Ipods, etc??? Anyway SMILE at everyone you meet!!!!

If you would like more wonderful "real" recipes get TATERS 'N MATERS 'N BLACK-EYED PEAS A country Cookbook by nick'n wilann powers mary powers and illutrated by nick powers. untechnical advisors. . . .the hoggs 'n halls. It's got lots of recipes but I especially like Quick Applesauce dessert, Coconut cake (yes, there really are real coconuts (hard as a brick) out there that fall of their trees and you can take a sharp ax and break apart carefully so you don't spill any of the milk inside (you need it). However, if you can't find one I found out a bag of boughten coconut and a can of real Coconut cream (in the area in the grocery store that carries things to put in liquor drinks like Grenadine, etc.) will work, Carrott cake, Pineapple Sherbert and scads of other recipes, you will be cooking like an 'olden days' Southerner soon and if 'n your great grandpa came to Kansas(Free State) from Kentucky in the Civil War days you might start talking like a true ol' Southerner. Buy the book & Have a great day!!!! Sometime when you have LOTS of time go over to the right side of the 1st entry you see here, and you will see a BUNCH of dates. Go down to Jan. 09 & to at the bottom of it and start with the 1st page on Yellowstone Natl. Park and read up page by page about the summer we spent working part time in Yellowstone after retiring in 1997 and keep reading UP that's how Blogs work ( last is 1st) and you might still be alive by the time you read all the other National Parks we worked, hints for travelers & retiree's & good old family recipes (mine).
