SoSousMe · 05-11-2014, 01:35 AM

Southern Fried Chicken

Biscuits n Gravy

Salmon Patties (and I hate seafood, but these were the bomb)

Lemon Ice Box Pie

Breaded & Fried Venison (yummmmmm)

Her Peanut Butter Fudge... I still crave it and dream about it

home made donuts made from canned biscuits lol (the bomb)

beans and cornbread (yes, cast iron skillet cornbread)

the list goes on and on... mom cooked her ass off... for anyone and everyone who passed through our doors.. she worked 60 hrs a week, and still made sure we had dinner every night and hot breakfast on sat and sun. I wish I had her determination

Thought of more...

My step dad's steak tips

His mac n cheese

His "hot dish" which I found out is a mid western "blanket term" for a pasta dish that has whatever you want in it lol I still make his variation

Also his sausage and rice...my sister still goes nuts for this and makes it a lot

My dad's chuck n beans (beans being yellow beans we grew ourselves)

His fresh trout cooked in aluminum foil over a campfire...holy hot damn...

My memere's French meat stuffing at Thanksgiving

Also her porkchops and rice

My mom's taco bake

and when she used to make these things (from a box) called fudge jumbles. They don't make them any more

they were my brother's FAVORITE thing

also her Minestrone is the best.thing.ever.

Ohhh and something that sounds weird but isn't. My dad's best friend made glazed kielbasa for all our events. In a crock pot he put: about 2lbs kielbasa cut up, a can of chili and beans and a small jar of grape jelly. It's the best stuff EVER. Mmm now I wanna make some.....

My maternal grandmother was Jewish but my mom married a Pennsylvania Dutch and German Lutheran man (my dad) who added no salt to any cooking of food.

Our food at home = tasteless.

My Jewish Nannie's food: fantastic.

When cooking shows are browning duck breasts in the pan and the fat is snapping and crackling; my mouth almost waters to think of the whole ducks my Nannie would roast.

The skin was salty, browned to perfection and melted in my mouth. Same with the meat.

My cholesterol is down to 170. I think a roasted duck is in order. It will probably never taste like hers but I would like to try.

She would also make potato latkes that were delicious, served with apple sauce that she would make from scratch.

Her apple strudel was to die for. I would help her peel the apples and she would do the layers of pastry.

No bakery has ever replicated Nannie's strudel.

My favorite childhood dishes (my parents are from Argentina):

milanesas w/ french fries

tomato with olive oil, garlic & bread

empanadas

dulce de batata (sweet potato jelly – sounds gross, I know) with cheese

my mom used recipes from a 1965 betty crocker kids cookbook.

my absolute favorite was called "mad hatter meatballs!"

naturally, the very very first time she announced she was making this for dinner, my very wee self's mind went to "why are we eating that guy from lewis carroll's alice something story?" suffice it to say when i shared this thought with mom, she laughed and laughed.

he sure was tasty

**a useless factoid. lewis carroll NEVER used the word "mad" to describe the hatter.
