Okay, I will have to add to this maybe this weekend, when I don't have
to get ready for work.

But I remember her breakfasts of sausage/bacon, and fried apples. And
hot biscuits with honey. What a match made in heaven!!!

She was the first person that taught me to enjoy lamb. No one else
that I knew outside of our family ate lamb. This was in Richmond, VA,
back in the 50's and 60's. However, she didn't cook it so it was a
nice pink in the middle, but rather hers was well done. And, she
used garlic with it. Another rarity. But it was still very, very
good.

And the salads. I think we had salads every night. Not your usual
iceberg lettuce, although that was a component of the salads....but
other greens as well. And she made a vinagarette for it. It wasn't
til I went away to school that I realized that not everyone knew what
an oil and vingegar dressing should taste like.
Even though I now use olive oil for the salad oil she used to use, I
still can't improve on the salads and vinagarettes she made.
