Polls...

Thank you for participating in our first poll, which asked the question:

Do you put jelly on your meat and biscuits?

The results are:

Always, what's a meat and biscuit without some jelly?!
14%

Never, that's disgusting!
35%

Sometimes, I like it both ways!
50%

(I don't know where the other 1% is! These are just to totals we were given!)

Okay, I have to admit to being in the 35% who find it disgusting. I had honestly never even heard of anyone doing this until I met Larry. I have been surprised over the years to find that it is quite a common practice! Who knew?! While I sat quietly at at home, eating my momma's chocolate gravy, there were those who were slathering jelly on their sausage and biscuits!!

Poor Larry! He tries to accommodate me. When he found out that just the thought of jelly on your bacon was a very unpleasant one for me, he stopped putting the jelly on his meat and biscuits. When we were younger - and could eat more, he would just have a meat and biscuit
and a separate jelly and biscuit. As any of you over 40 know, time and metabolism wait for no man - or woman. So, to keep his weight in check, he now separates his one biscuit, leaving the meat on one half - open-faced. On the other half, he puts his jelly. Bless his heart, the compromises he has made to be married to me!!

We have a new poll:

Do you have a vegetable garden?

Please vote!! It's in the left sidebar!!

  1. The only thing I put jelly on is a bacon biscuit--and it has to be strawberry jam. My husband loves grape jelly on hot dogs.

    I don't know of many folks who eat jelly on meat.

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share
