This was really hard to pare down, but some of my kids' favorites
include:

my (maternal) grandmother's buttermilk biscuit recipe
my (paternal) grandmother's fried chicken recipe
my MIL's sour cream pancakes
my version of beef ragout
my version of white bean and ham hock soup

Recipes upon request :-)

Absolutely! It's just plain wrong. That type of loss is beyond
sorrow for me, it's absolutely unimaginable heartache.

I remember when a friend's daughter was killed by a drunk driver who
swerved into her lane - it was a head on collision. Her college aged
(and sober) DD was the driver, all the other occupants in the car
survived.

Are you going to post them in the Signature Dishes section of the
unofficial rfc website or do we have to make a special section for
this type of recipe.... which isn't a bad idea - come to think of it,
*Cathy*.

My "request" is for the sour cream pancake recipe. Thanks!

Interesting thoughts :-)

My grandparents were hard farm workers. She never overcooked any veggies, except for
green beans. They were simmered with a piece of pig belly until they had little
resemblance, color-wise, to the originals. Sometimes they would get a quick stir in a
hot skillet with some bacon grease.

She canned most of their vegetables, except for things like lettuce. She made
pickles, not just with cukes, but with watermelon rind, beets, and green tomatoes.
She prepared all of her food on a wood-burning stove, which amazes me to this day,
because it never seemed like anything was over or under cooked! No temperature gauge,
just good old fashioned experience :-)

Now me, I never ever prepare green beans that way. I like mine to bite back a little
bit when I bite into one ;-) But all of the family in my mom's generation and before
still like them that way.

The DH's 19 year old sister was killed in a car accident while in
college and within months of his older brother having committed
suicide. I simply cannot imagine what he and his parents went through
or what you went through.

Jeez, Louise, you're fast! (If anyone wants a crackerjack genealogy
researcher, contact this girl!)

Family story: My grandmother, Neva, loved to play school with some of
the neighborhood children (she actually taught school as an adult, 6
grades in a one room schoolhouse in Rodeo, NM, when NM was still a
territory) and my great-grandfather let them use the "hay mow"
(whatever that is) for their "schoolroom" (this was before they
emigrated from Iowa to NM about 1908). One morning the family arose to
find "CHIT" written on the side of the barn and my grandmother was
determined to find out who did it. When she had her "classroom"
assembled, she gave a spelling test, one of which words was "sh*t"
and my Aunt Nina was the only one who spelled it with a "C."

I really gotta start writing this stuff down.

AFAIK, there's not a drop of Eastern European blood in that branch of
the family. It's about 99% Welsh, Irish, English, Scots and
Scandinavian. I had a DNA test done out of curiosity. As a female, the
trail is solely matrilineal, but that entire trail is northern
European. My grandmother and her sister, Nina's, maiden name was
"Marken," which is of Scandinavian origin. In fact, there's an Isle of
Marken off the Dutch coast, IIRC.

If the Irish grandmother was my great-grandmother's relative,

The name "Nina" can be found in a lot of places now, but originally it
was (and occasionally still is) a Russian diminutive/hypocoristic of
Anna. As to the (tenuous) Scandinavian connection, remember "Ninotchka"
(a Russian diminutive of Nina) with Greta Garbo?

ObFood: Tea-Fruit Kisel (a fool-like concoction) from a Russian
cookbook.

1 l (1.1 US quarts) water
6 teaspoons tea leaves (black, green, or a mix)
20 pieces of sugar
0.5 l (1.1 pint) fruit (apple, quince, orange, or some other) juice
6-8 teaspoons corn starch
1 cup cold boiled water (to dissolve the starch)
optionally, vanilla or vanilla extract
optionally, cloves or cinnamon

Dissolve corn starch in a cup of cold boiled water. Brew the tea and,
while it's still very hot (put it over the heat), add the dissolved
starch, stirring vigorously. Take from the heat as soon as the starch
is added. Stir until the liquid thickens. Then add the fruit juice and
continue to stir vigorously. If desired, add vanilla or vanilla
extract, or cloves, or cinnamon to taste, and let cool. The result is a
very pleasant cold thickish liquid tasting of tea and fruit.

Thank you, Wayne. Even though it's almost 12 years, I still cry easily
when I think about her.

I was very lucky in that I was chosen to be her mother for the brief
time she was with us.

There is a perpetual scholarship at Ramapo College of New Jersey in her
name, so people will know about her long after I am dust.

Here is a link to a pdf of the college magazine that talks about Cara.

This was an 86 year old man taking his 82 year old sister to the doctor.
He'd been mowing the lawn with a heart condition and passed out from
either a stroke or a heart attack. All 3 died.

I only knew Neenas until we began to travel in America. Most of the
N(eye)nas were in the mid-west.

My daughter spelled my granddaughter's name "Deena" because she didn't
want anyone to mispronounce it D(eye)na. Dina gets the same treatment as
Nina. <g>

LOL! We often joke that Ohio is the land of the long vowl. They

One would have thought so. I even sent a condolence card to their
family. The old man was a bachelor with no children but his sister had
grown children who only wanted to make a big lawsuit out of it.

Nice! What little experience I've had watching my kiddoes cook tells me
that Chris is more likely to experiment and Beck is more inclined to
follow the directions. WhatshisnamehisnameisJamie, however, is inclined
to make it up as he goes along --- especially when baking. Not
especially successfully -- and what do I know about baking, anyway? LOL!

Michael, I've got a recipe (below) for palacsinta from a Hungarian woman
that's been 'modernized.'


Palacsinta (Hungarian Dessert Pancakes)

6 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
1-1/2 cups biscuit mix
Butter for frying

Mix eggs, milk and biscuit mix and place bowl in refrigeratior at least
two hours or overnight. Batter has a tendency to thicken on standing. If
necessary, add more milk to thin the batter and beat until smooth.

Use a small frying pan, preferably non-stick. Place a small piece of
butter in pan that has been heated on medium high heat. Swirl pan to
coat bottom and pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter into pan and swirl to coat
bottom of pan. Brown quickly and turn to brown on other side. Quickly
roll up pancake and put on warm platter in oven; cover with foil. Repeat
until batter is gone.

To serve, fill with strawberry or raspberry preserves and top with sour
cream or cover with chocolate sauce and whipping cream.

Notes: Recipe from Minneapolis Star Taste, January 8, 1975.

I wonder what the pronunciation rules are about that, if there is one.
We also have Medina (Med-eye-na) and Edina (Ee-DINE-a). I am acquainted
with a couple local radio guys, one new in town, one been here for a
very long time. The younger told me once how grateful he was for a
short session with the elder statesman wherein he was told the
pronunciations of a lot of the small towns in the state that aren't said
the way one might expect them to be said. :-) (Shakopee is
SHOCK-a-pee, not SHACK-o-pee. :-)

Thank you; but there are two problems with that recipe :
(a) The biscuit mix.
I won't get it in my part of the world. If you try my version, you'll
see that it keeps in the fridge. Just stir with an egg-whisk before using.
(b) The "strawberry or raspberry preserves" should read :
Melba's jams and marmelades ;-)

Cheers,
