Tx, so I'm not too familiar with true southern cooking. But I would like to tell you a funny story that came from an evangelist friend who had preached a Sunday morning service in the South. He went to the Pastor's home for dinner after church and most likely had all the fixins' you described. <br />He told us he kept looking over on the windowsill at the delicious raisin pie setting there and couldn't stand it any longer. He jokingly asked the hostess when he was gonna get some of that raisin pie. She went over to the window, waved her hand over the pie and all the 'raisins' flew right out the window, then she proceeded to serve him a slice of custard pie.<br />Now that's from the mouth of an evangelist, so I'm assuming he was telling the truth. At least he got a good laugh out of us!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289590616497815887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-35303993417247096672009-08-11T20:05:02.541-05:002009-08-11T20:05:02.541-05:00GREAT post!

My sister has lived in Mississippi for 44+ years and is a fantastic cook. I could not eat southern cooking as my regular diet, but a meal now & then is wonderful.<br /><br />Now, Miss Keetha, y'all know a meal just isn't a meal without grits. I LOVE grits! In fact, I have a cookbook entitled "Gone With the Grits" -- mostly just for entertainment, because I like my grits plain with a little butter, and occasionally with cheese.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534835465491483888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-64572226094125391822009-08-11T14:45:25.818-05:002009-08-11T14:45:25.818-05:00I must be a true Northerner, as in another country...I must be a true Northerner, as in another country, because I don't crave any of these things. <br />Now give me some potatoes or halibut and I am your slave.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-91379360776233157092009-08-11T08:31:50.566-05:002009-08-11T08:31:50.566-05:00Oh my, I do declare, this all sounds scrumptious! ...Oh my, I do declare, this all sounds scrumptious!

C...Mmmmmmm. Now you've made me hungry...again!<br /><br />Collard greens are prepared just like you would think....boil them TO DEATH. They're better if you mix them with mustard greens-the flavor is more mellow. But they must be done with ham hocks, and served with 'pepper sauce'(really, it's just a jar with hot peppers and vinegar-you put a little on top of each serving. That jar was a staple on my Mamaw's table.)<br /><br />I think I'm going to have to make a southern dinner soon!<br /><br />Oh! And my Granny's squash casserole is so easy and yummy...boil onions and the yellow squash, drain well, mix sour cream and cream of chicken soup, mix, layer between seasoned bread crumbs, bake. (That's the nutshell, but you get the idea.) <br /><br />Thanks for the memories! And the dinner suggestion!I can't find my bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613321200230079978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-48173130889140593352009-08-10T22:44:00.860-05:002009-08-10T22:44:00.860-05:00I attend a potluck each month, here in the south :...I attend a potluck each month, here in the south :), but unfortunately we don't have too many true Southerners that attend.

Momma asked me what I and my (just turned 19 yr old) wanted for our birthday and I told her, speaking for myself, "I want nothing more than some good ol momma's southern home cooking". I will post this week. It was gooooo-ood! It included fried chicken, mac and cheese, potatoes augratin, black eyed pes (the travisty of havnt had in in so many years, Keetha!), cucumber salad, fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes, blueberry salad, brownies and mommas cornbread (the very same recipe her grandmother taught her to make as she was so small she sat on a stoll by the stove and watched and from that day forward was expected to make it....and boy does she!)<br />When I think of those churh homecomings/potlucks I also think of yellow cake with homemade chocolate icing, srtaight fromthe icebox, pistachio salad, deviled eggs, creamed corn, congelled salad (it is understood, that is someone passes someone WILL bring a congelled salad to the home of the family of the dearly departed. It just is.) and Sunday dinner (which is lunch to those above the mason dixon line) is not served without the house wine...a big cold glass of sweet sweet tea.<br /><br />Keetha, I cannot wait for you to head south...I am hungry just thinking of all these dishes. I guarentee that momma and I will serve you up many of those on your list with some southern hospitality and lotsa love!Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritavillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501269563354107349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-64594687053280803792009-08-10T21:55:40.550-05:002009-08-10T21:55:40.550-05:00No one has down home Southern cooking like a churc...No one has down home Southern cooking like a church homecoming. Everyone tries to outdo the other. My mom made the most wonderful mac and cheese...she brought Alex a pan of it a few days before she died. And, Don's mother was tops with turnips and mustard, and okra. I can make the squash casserole and the banana puddings...but that is about all for me.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.com
