BEEF STEW WEATHER TODAY.....

This pot of beef stew really looks good today. I think Old Man Winter doesn't want to give up. It's been in the lower 50's with the wind blowing up a storm. It felt more like the 20's. I turned on my gas logs maybe for the last time this year.

I bought these huge green beans at Food City. They make me think of the Turkey Craw beans we raised. Yummy!!!!

And the greens are mustard, kale and collards. Now I have a big cake of cornbread in the oven! Anyone want to come for supper?

Moobear said...: Oh my! How I do love greens and cornbread. I had Jerrell to look for some collards at the farmer's market near the flea market that he goes to on Saturdays, but they didn't have any. I will sit back and envy you Clara. lol...soon I will be having me some greens. I am glad you are doing well Clara, thanks for the emails and comments. Take good care of yourself. Your friend across the mountain.

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
