That one meal item

My Grandmollye's sweat tea. Just the right amount of sugar and saccharine. Just enough to put you in a diabetic coma if you have diabetes and enough to give you diabetes if you don't have it. Kitty's tried and tried and come close, but never duplicated it. Of course, now I caint have it at all.
 
I miss sitting with my grandmother just eating oyster crackers & a glass of milk.
I hope to see you in heaven grandma

When I was very young grandpa would catch a lot of fresh fish. When grandma served fried fish she would make a side dish she called Koosh Koosh or something like that. The closest thing I'll have today is the filling in a devilled crab but that's not so close.
Grandma had 3 daughters and each of them picked up something, like their own interest or specialty. My mom got the baking... cakes, pies, even macaroni pie. Aunt Pat got the growing things, along with pickling and preserving. Aunt Betty got meatloaf, dressing (some of yall call stuffing), and more. My wife and I got all we could from all 3 of them. None of them could tell us how to make the Koosh Koosh. Maybe none of them liked it. Oh well... we do eat very good around here. They come from miles around at Thanksgiving. We have 3 blood pressure meds and a cholesterol med each, omeprazole daily too. Those are tasteless. We might consider a healthier diet if those meds were a thick nasty syrup/elixir. Dont share that thought with the powers that be, LOL
 
My Grandmother on my mom`s side German apple strudel. OMG, to die for.
My Dads chicken cacciatore,
My Moms cherry or apple pie.
My Moms or sisters Thanksgiving dinners- feast. RIP to all of them.:(
 
My mom and her mom were both good cooks and bakers.
I miss mom’s Sunday dinners when she made roast beef
Mashed taters with brown gravy made from the roast drippings. I’ve tried making it I get close not close enough.
I guess it was the mom touch!
I also miss her made from scratch brownies with homemade
Fudge frosting she would make that like you make fudge but
It would stay soft but not runny or hard.
Friends of mine said they would miss the brownies after she passed way.

I also miss my grandma’s (her mom) homemade Carmel rolls
And dinner rolls.
 
Spaghetti Sauce..:D My father made sauce to die for. My mom passed away when I was 10 so my dad cooked often for us after he got home from work. My grandparent came over here in '31 but soon returned home. My grandfather made my dad stay here because it was getting bad in Italy at that time, and he was 19 and Mussolini was looking for young guys.. He lived through the depression era here so he could cook anything and make it great, you had to. I married an Irish girl who couldn't cook for ****, (but she's a redhead and eight years my junior so :)) so we spent a lot of time with my dad to teach her how to make Italian dishes, and cook >period. Got to give it to her, she can cook now. She can make his sauce, but not quite the same as I remember.
 
i could tell you the secret to my spaghetti sauce, but you wont like it

Click to expand...

nope, thats no secret

what i do is after i brown the meat (you know, little bit of onion, some garlic) i toss in a few caps of soy sauce
it adds a little bit of sweet, tangy flavor to the meat
 
I could live with that^^ ..my wife browns the meat balls and beef also. I usually steal a meat ball of course before they go in. It simmers for maybe six hours and I >need< to dip a piece of bread or two, just to make sure it's going well.
 
i personally do not like pasta, none of it (something about the taste, it just doesnt jive with me)
so when i make the kids psghetti (or whatever pasta we have) i get me a bag of corn chips and eat that with the sauce

i call it "italian nachos"
 
Mom made a Cucumber salad that I could probably finish the whole bowl. She also made Swedish meatballs, and peanut butter balls rolled in wheat germ of all things. Must try them! But she had some flops too: Did not like her scratch vegetable soup nor her eggplant parmesan. :-( too many turnips in the soup and the broth was like water. Some French recipe she said, let 'em keep it!
 
THE Cajun restaurant that has been in Houston many decades makes the best 10 cheese baked grits casserole! Pappa's it is called, I think!???? Have not been there since Covid.
Boiled crawdads. Shuck em and suck em. Good chit Maynard!!
