If your car ever comes to New York for real pizza it will never stop or eat there again

[audtatious]

Bisquik biscuits loaded with butter and scuppernong jelly

yum, yum

[370Z/28]

What the heck is scuppernong jelly?

Too many carbs....you can't have any.

[audtatious]

aka: scupanon

My Grandmother used to make homemade jelly out of them, my favorite. I have one jar left as my aunt made some a couple years ago and gave me a couple jars. When visiting my GM as a kid I'd go with her to pick scupanon's and blackberry's for pies and jellies. Scupanon's are good to eat too with a sweet center and sour shell. They do have small seeds tho.

Wow! You got me on that one.

My mom used to make this sourdough bread and she would toast it and then we would put her homeade strawberry preserves on it. OMG!!!! YUMMY!!

It is kinda sad that all of that has gotten lost with my generation. We all worked and never had time for that kind of stuff. All our kids will know is mass produced, over preserved JUNK!

My Grandmother always cooked scratch. Bisquik was her flour of choice. Being in middle-GA she would stock up on snap peas, black-eye'd peas, okra, squash, corn, etc. and would cook up a storm. Every week we would have one night with fried chicken, some form of beans, squash or collards, and biscuit or corn bread. Sunday mornings she always cooked silver-dollar sized pancakes with plenty of real butter and awesome syrup (very similar to Oh! Boy brand that you can get in mason jars from Ingles grocery stores). She also would make some of the best homemade chicken and dumplings or chicken and rice. Other nights were pork, ribs, etc.

She would also save the leftover veggies and such and made some of THE BEST soup! She would make a huge batch and then freeze individual portions for when I came to visit.

Your grandmother sounds like mine. My grandfather died when I was only 2. Grandmother ran a farm in Mississippi all by herself after that. Grew all her own veggies and canned them. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, she would have us all over and there would be ham, turkey, fried chicken, tons of veggies and casseroles and homemade yeast rolls constantly coming out of the oven. YUM.

Coolest thing. A few months ago my sister was up here and we drove by that house. It was built before the civil war. The people that owned it were out front so we stopped by to talk to them. They let us come in the house and walk all through it. Georgia and I both had tears streaming down or faces. It was so good to be in that house again.

[audtatious]

Nice

My grandmother would send care packages around Christmas. Homemade divinity, wedding bells, some kind of cheddar bites, choc-covered pretzels and pecans, jellies, mini-pecan pies (with choc chips), etc. Occasionally she would overnight frozen fresh snapped peas, other veggies and frozen homemade soup. Kinda sux that my mom no longer cooks and none of us really cook either. It's going to be a lost art with us older folk remembering what it was like.

[370Z/28]

Yup. Pop some frozen chemicals in the microwave.



Maybe soon we will be eating Soylent Green!

Funny how we all ate that way and we were all thin.

[SVTCOBRA]

You two are getting me hungry!!!!
My GM used to make the best chicken & dumplings!!!!!
My other GM used to make cherry yum-yum....mmmmmmmmm

Speaking of canning, we've put up 42 quarts of green beans so far this season. Plants may be dieing, so I've replanted a couple of rows.
Haven't put up any maters this year.

I do 'pickle' banana peppers. I put 3 sliced jalapenos in the bottom of a quart mason jar then start packing in sliced banana peppers.
THen, I pour white vinegar in......that's it.
They taste sort of like those pepperoncini's that you get on a salad bar. Great on sandwiches!!!!

We just finished up a jar from last year, so they seem to keep for a long time without actually being canned.....guess it's the vinegar.
Have done two new jars, hope to do several more.

[audtatious]

I don't do any of that. I did cook some great seared tuna last night

[telcoman]

Yum.....ROAD TRIP!!!

Pizza is pretty good in New Jersey too





Telcoman

[audtatious]

That makes you fat, should be outlawed

[370Z/28]

Yum! I want the slice with all the onions on it!

[telcoman]

Those were my two slices.

Come to New Jersey and enjoy a whole pie.
BTW I never eat pizza in any chain pizza restaurants.
We have real Italian restaurants here and you don't have to pump your own gas

One of the best at the Jersey shore is here

If you can eat an extra large pie by yourself they will give you a T shirt
Wouldn't you look great wearing that T shirt around town

Looks like a fun place!

Looks like a fun place!

It is indeed

Despite what you may have heard and the jokes New Jersey is a pretty good place to live with many good places to eat

[370Z/28]

It is funny how so many parts of the country have such bad stereotypes. I'm sure you think everybody in the south is fat, toothless, lives in a mobile home and doesn't shop anywhere but Wal-Mart. There are actually some pretty nice folks down here.

I was glad to see how this country all came together on 9/11. And, it is really nice to go to a bar and hear everybody cheering for our Olympic athletes!
