The two best cooks in our family were my mother and my brother-in-law Paul. Growing up in Mississipi, we had tradional Southern fare (usually the result of a hog killing or a neck wringing). My mother never used a recipe for anything, and now none of us can reproduce her biscuits or tomato pie (a cobbler with sweet spices), which was my favorite.<br /><br />Thanks for a lovely feast which I could almost taste! And for your memories. Merry Christmas, y’all!<br /><br />BJB.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-79305075091089311422010-12-23T22:52:54.368-05:002010-12-23T22:52:54.368-05:00I don't know if your recipes came from the Boo...I don't know if your recipes came from the Book of Numbers or a version of the Seven Wonders of the Seafood World but my God that stuff lookd good.

That’s one thing we have, our memories, which are nice to reflect upon, or talk/write about. I really enjoy getting together with my dad and hearing him tell “his stories”. I wish my pap were still alive; he was a real story teller and my kids would’ve enjoyed him.<br /><br />Leslie: I have to sadly agree that many people don’t have traditions or don’t even get together. It all seems so rushed, and even superficial, and the whole “meaning” is missed. Sure the “gifts” are fun, but it’s really about family and friends and belonging—about creating memories and maintaining traditions and sometimes making new ones.<br /><br />You said it: re-evaluate our priorities.Pamela Zydelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455065276657597689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-85038487273959904912010-12-23T12:28:19.048-05:002010-12-23T12:28:19.048-05:00Oh.

Lovely and am definately saving these recipes.<br /><br />And what sweet memories. Wow, I would have loved to grow up in that environment, cigar smoke and all. Of course, like most oldies, I have my own memories as well. But there's a sadness to it all these days. Families are so split up and people just seem too busy to even try to carry on these beautiful traditions and so they are getting lost. Maybe we should re-evaluate our priorities.<br /><br />Lovely story and to-die-for recipes.Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.com
