I
love to cook and I think I'm a damn good one. I would always watch my Momma and my Granny as I was growing up, the ladies do not measure they go by experience. If it 'looks about right' then that's how much goes into it. It's not a culinary art in my family, it's just cooking for those you love. It's a bit of a stress reliever for me, I'll go in the kitchen and cook something to get my mind off of things that are bothering me. I also bake to show people how much I care for them, I'm not very good sometimes at saying how much you mean to me but I'll bake your favorite cake or cookies letting you know I do.

 | Posted Mar 16th, 2008 at 9:21PM Yay! Nice to know I'm not alone in the old school methods. My banana nut bread recipe is actually my great grandmother's so I can handle that no problem, it smells so yummy when it's in the oven. No bill for you, I don't charge my friends. :) |

 | Posted Mar 21st, 2008 at 7:22PM MMM good ole Suth'n cooking. You can't beat it. I am reading your story and thinking how long it has been since I had real homemade bisquits and gravy. It also makes me think of my grandmother in the kitchen. She would say you need a dash of this and a smidgen of that. My fav thing for her to say was "no need to measure love....just eyeball it." I can remember as a kid getting really close to the bowl to make sure that my eyeball was really close to whatever I was assisting her with and she and my grandfather would laugh. I had no idea what they were laughing about at that early age but I knew it made them happy. |
| Posted Mar 21st, 2008 at 7:25PM oh "I just eyeball it"...I hear that quite often too. aww haha that's too cute what you used to do, actually getting right up to the bowl. |
 | Posted Mar 21st, 2008 at 7:28PM Oh yes, homemade bisquits & gravy. You just made me hungry. |
| Posted Mar 21st, 2008 at 7:30PM Chris, that will be what I cook for you and you will consume every ounce of it? deal? |
