I was all done with eating for the day till I read this. Oh my, your goodies have my mouth watering. I had an old Granny from KY as well and cooking with her are some of my favorite childhood memories. Thank you for triggering them for me once again.
Pouring out some ol kentucky corn juice for our grannies! Those memories are the gifts that keep on giving....
My granny also had better fried chicken than 70s KFC, drank bloody marys at breakfast, and ate salted homegrown sliced tomatoes at every meal. Man i miss her!
Mine cussed like a sailor, was always playing solitaire with her little dog, Sugar in her lap and made the absolute best roll out dumplings. I've never been able to recreate her chicken and dumpling gravy to this day. I know she used lard for everything. What wonderful memories. I'm gonna have to write about these.
