I loved sitting on a stool to watch her as she made our biscuits. And yes, she left her knuckle print right before she popped those babies into the oven. Oh, how I wish I had one. I wish I could make them like she did. In her oval wooden biscuit bowl, miracles happened. Now...buttermilk. Not for drinking here either. Now, my Mom still loves to sip on it. When she was here over Christmas, she made an awesome pan of cornbread and then drank some with our meal. Yuk! She told me her she loves to drink buttermilk with oreos. Can you imagine?!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-81809507255169465072014-01-01T13:00:48.994-05:002014-01-01T13:00:48.994-05:00Good grief...

Thank you for the thorough discussion of New Year's Eve and Day foods. I have had some friends from the South who ate mighty strange things...another was sauerkraut...on New Year's Eve for wealth and happiness in the New Year. May you and Mac have a wonderful 2014!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-78653878880142601242013-12-30T17:07:23.264-05:002013-12-30T17:07:23.264-05:00I think cholesterol gets far too much credit (or b...I think cholesterol gets far too much credit (or blame, if you will) for health. What's the difference in years lived from North to South, from cuisine to cuisine in America? EVERYBODY ends up dead, in any case. What's important is how much you enjoy the life God gave you, and how much you help others to enjoy their lives. And, by God - and I mean that with no trace of blasphemy intended - fried chicken, biscuits, and whatever else is tasty and lovely to eat is worth it. I'd rather be eating lard than going through life with a ramrod up my arse worrying about every damn thing that enters my mouth.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-27298860320472252622013-12-30T16:37:44.880-05:002013-12-30T16:37:44.880-05:00Oh girl, you know you've got me drooling. Yes ...Oh girl, you know you've got me drooling. Yes ma'am, the same with my grandmother. And, she cooked most everything with lard. Did I ever tell you that she lived to l04 1/2? Yep.<br /><br />We always have black eyed peas on New Years day, and sometimes collards. Since my mom has been gone (seeing as how I'm a lazy cooker) I buy the ones in the can. I know! Don't yell at me. :)<br /><br />xoxoSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.com
