For some people it is images, songs, etc. And those all bring memories to me as well.......but so do recipes. If you aren't a recipe freak like me you won't understand.....just skip to the next post. LOL But for the rest of you......recipes bring happy memories for me. Sometimes crazy memories (like the time I lost a fake nail in the dessert....LOL My mom found it, unintentionally because I "forgot" to tell her I had lost it. ) and sometimes sad memories.
Mostly the recipes in my book remind me of people. Some remind me of my Granny (my mom's mom), or my mother, who were both wonderful cooks and passed down many recipes to me over the years. Now that they have both passed on to heaven, I think of them even more when making a dish from their recipe books or handwritten recipe cards. And other family and friends have given me recipes over the years as well. I still to this day can not eat Sweet and Sour Meatballs without thinking of my sorority days and my friend Jerri who gave me the recipe. They are yummy and one of hubs favorites!!! And I can't make Best in The West Bean Bake without thinking of my Granny, my Aunt Mary (my mom's sister), and my mom. Yummy with cornbread it warms the body as well as the soul. Soul food is the best!!!
Ok, carry on with the recipes now!!! LOL
