I had home-baked cornbread for the first time last fall when I was in Columbus (but baked by someone from the south, you'll be happy to hear) - so delicious warm from the oven with the butter melting in your mouth. So yes, I'm right with you on that one! And the collards, and the iced tea. Sounds like you have many happy memories - your grandparents gave you warmth and love as well as food, it's clear. And I love your page celebrating all that.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-66749784328843748482017-02-19T17:44:13.563-05:002017-02-19T17:44:13.563-05:00Boy am I far behind in my visits!

My grandmother could cook, too. Unfortunately, she didn't cook food like that. We never had fried chicken, except maybe once a month. But it sounds like we were raised in similar situations, none-the-less. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories of my childhood, too. <br /><br />BTW, we never had sweet tea, because my grandparents drank coffee. To get me to drink my milk, she started putting coffee in it. Now I'm an addict! And I've graduated from milk to 1/2 & 1/2.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409736839640761117.post-60635862841588604242017-01-30T11:02:47.505-05:002017-01-30T11:02:47.505-05:00I feel privileged to hear all about your Nanny, Pa...I feel privileged to hear all about your Nanny, Paw and your special memories Sandy.
