It's the little things we cling to the most and our mothers may be gone but they left a big part of themselves behind.

There is...Hi Susie, I got such a kick out of this! There isn't a day goes by I don't think about my Mama and the cooking lessons she gave me too. It was such a special time we shared together. When I was 13 we were in a bad car accident and my mother was bedridden. She had to speed up the cooking lessons because I now had to make the meals for the family everyday. She taught me to cook from her bed. She would holler out instructions and could tell by the sound or the smell if I was doing it right. We would laugh and have such a good time. I still hear her voice in my head whenever I making certain things, especially fried chicken, "Turn the fire down baby, that's it, let it cook all the way through and then brown it real good and crispy!" :) Have a wonderful evening and good night's rest! With Love, Delisa :)Delisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793953725620270977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-37361527541199155862013-08-16T11:37:39.806-07:002013-08-16T11:37:39.806-07:00I have to clean as I go too, I don't know any ...I have to clean as I go too, I don't know any other way!

Maybe someday when I'm gone the younger generation will have them to look back upon. I love cornbread too, fresh out of the oven.

Your mama taught you well, and she would be so happy that you learned all the tricks to cooking. I smiled when I read a pinch of this and a pinch of that because that is how I cook today. I have been cooking for 33 years, so I guess I know all the shortcuts by now. Jess tells me that she has to measure everything, and if you tasted her cookies and baked goods, you would see why. They are so yummy. That is so nice that you kept the letters from your mom and brothers and sister and read them from time to time. <br /><br />You are truly a family person, Susie, and I'm so honored to know someone like you. Oh, and cornbread is my favorite too.....warm right out of the oven and butter. <br /><br />Love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-47440981676245676812013-08-12T08:39:25.109-07:002013-08-12T08:39:25.109-07:00lol.. sorry to I made you hungry Daisy but you wou...lol.. sorry to I made you hungry Daisy but you wouldn't want my cornbread anyways.. lol.Susie Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052734156809316397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-45573053788437026412013-08-12T08:38:36.778-07:002013-08-12T08:38:36.778-07:00Thank you Janet.
