My grandmother, Miss Lizzie, set up housekeeping at the turn of the 20th century when people were still cooking on wood stoves and refrigerators consisted of the “ice box” on the back porch.
As soon as you mentioned the treat, I knew what you were remembering. Grandma made them, so did Mom, and so do I. One of my grandson - a late teen - recently ask me about them so I taught him the 'recipe'. His Mom called me the other day to report that he now buys pre-made pie crusts and makes them when his buddies come over. And the memory continues to future generations.
You're my new best friend. Thank you for what you do. I'm 72, live in FL where my parents were born, retired antiques dealer, baptist, married 55 yrs., first cousin direct descendant Robt. E. Lee, a Cancerian, southern cook, gardener, love animals, reading, art, addicted to sugar & sweet tea, etc. Love old cookbooks, history, living life, in general. Dislike war, homelessness, abuse (esp. children), liars, yellow flies (in particular). You should know that when and if I get to heaven, I'm going to need more than 10 mins. with Jesus! ♥❗
