> Jeanie you sound like an ol' kindy like me!! We about raised two of our grand children. Meant nothing to us. But when i was in nursing home i met a woman who adopted her grand child because her daughter was giving it away. But when she told ger girls that the boy would inherit equally with them they threw a fit!! Was not fair because he was not her child!! She sat down and asked how much they paid for her living room set, kitchen dining set all the bedroom furniture plus every thing else you paid for. Just bring me your recipts and i will give you cash money. They never mentioned it again. She was a sharp cookie. But she was also younger then i am<VBG> Viola.

Maybe it was like a boiler and the stove heated the water. Seems like I have seen something like that. When we used to go to the cabin with Ken's sister there was a wood cook stove. Well I had never cooked on one in my life. But she always wanted me to cook. Biscuits and pies. I kind of winged it and it did seem to work, but didn't have a clue of how to keep the oven at an even temp. But we ate any way. Those old ladys really knew how to do that. My dad always said his mother made really good pies. Of course she had cooked for a restaurant at the hotel they stayed in before moving to eastern Or. Would be nice and cozy in winter but hard with all that heat in the summer. I know she had to have canned evey thing also.

I think the coffee being boiled on the wood stove was hotter than the elec. coffee pots now. I know camp fire coffe is hotter than here at home. No wonder they poured it in the saucers to cool.I know my dad used to make the coffee over the camp fire. Was so good. Maybe it is the smoke and a little dust or ashes blowing in it. I guess we are to modern now. going with son and wife to the coast with the trailer. I will be glad to be inside as it isn't supposed to be very good weather, so will be alot warmer than a tent or the old trailer. But should be fun. Don't think it will rain all the time. We have been there before when it rained and it kind of came and went.

Been thinking about my grandmothers drinking habits as they use to tell us. She never ever put her elbows on the table at a meal. Sat very erect on edge of kitchen chair drinking coffee or tea. Think it is the French that sit that way. She also pored some in a saucer to drink. But the real real reason we watched her was because she did not have any teeth and we could not figure out where they went to. Dumb kids huh? But thats how you learn Viola.

I too, remember my grandfather in Iowa, pouring his coffee into the saucer to cool off. I learned how to make boiled coffee in the big coffee pot (wish I had one today) from my grandma, who also preferred her wood cookstove to her electric one. She very seldom used it. Couldn't put her iron on it, nor her little curling iron for her hair. Only the wood cook stove would do. Besides, it added heat to the old kitchen. Now, those women had to really know how to cook. The old recipes never had a time or a temperature on them. Just 'in a moderate oven until done". I have many stacks of saucers, that go with the cups with the modern handles. They hardly ever get used. Just take up space. Don't want to get rid of them however, because they go with the dishes. Men, in particular do not like those handles as their fingers are bigger and they get stuck in them, so mugs in a variety of colors and styles, are the thing, in my kitchen, for everyday, anyway. :0) That boiled coffee WAS HOT, and oh, so good!! Jerrian

I prefer a cup, but don't use a saucer. I use mugs for cocoa and hot chocolate. cups get the coffee to a temp that is comfortable for me Mugs keep it too damned hot. and I like my cocoa and chocolate very very warm.

I'd be a "gone goose" if I had to finish every job on time... back in the olden days when I had my company was a different matter but hells bells, I am retired now and can do whatever I want... I have so much to do that when I become bored with whatever I'm doing and there is no emergency, I stop and do something else for a while. My bride is on her last day on the job. By close of business today, she will be retired... Oh yes, we have our jobs lined up but there ain't nothing or nobody to tell us we can't quit when we get tired... That's the joy of being retired... lol Our hunters have offered to help us scrape and paint the small house they stay in at the ranch... who'ed turn down and offer like that? Sherry and I spent the weekend working on the exterior of the house.. Tomorrow, Sherry's first day of retirement, we will make a trip to the lumber company and buy materials we need to make certain repairs... we'll probably still get up early 'cuz that's our nature... drink coffee and have breakfast by sunup and work our heinies off until we get tired.. after that, we'll rest and do something else... being reired is a good thing. lolol :-)** On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 10:48 AM, samuels <dwsbgs@centurytel.net> wrote: > Cup and saucer went the way of tablecloths and napkins.

Cup and saucer went the way of tablecloths and napkins. Saucering Coffee was/is quite ethic, I think, besides that boiled coffee was HOT, scalding hot. In fact saucers once were more like soup bowls. They cooled the immediate drink while the cup if used at all( grandma didn't) held the heat and the HOT coffee. Now tea was and entirely different method. Number1 not so hot, number2 always served with heavy cream and the sugar lump was in the bottom and NEVER stirred. Also tea in our family was drank Never Slurped( coffee could be slurped). There were RULES for everything, a time for each and even a day to get certain things done. I still have not figured that one out. What happen if one didn't get thru that chore? One can't milk just one tit! Was this why on certain days extra "help" was in the house and field??? So much of this I recall but so vague, evidentially I was not involved.

You were SO lucky to have so many Grandparents ! Poor little Buzz has one real Grandmother and he NEVER gets to see her...We're kinda surrogate Grandparents, but he doesn't know the difference, and will be treated equally with the other 2 Grandchildren estate wise.....Which won't be enough to brag about anyhow.

Guess I was real lucky to have had all my grandparents until I was married and had all my children. I also had all four great-grandfather's and they would pour the hot tea or coffee into the deep saucer their cup fit in-a sip the cooled liquid---the most interesting was my g.grandfather Peter, he was red headed and Irish-he had a huge handlebar moustache-he always had a napkin to dry the moustache after he drank-it was waxed and stiff as can be! I remember the cups as off white and quite large with a good size handle and deep saucer. Another of my great-grandfathers never ate a big meal at night-he always had "milk toast" toast mashed up with warm butter milk poured over it-he ate a big breakfast and the noon meal was called dinner and was his main meal of the day. I love hearing all of peoples memories-such wonderful things to remember and talk about! Helen

Robert, you mentioned your grandma saucering her coffee. My dad ALWAYS did that. He would put the cream and sugar in his coffee, then pour the coffee into his saucer to cool it off. We didn't use mugs in those days.I never knew my grandparents, they died long before I was even thought about, on b oth sides of the family.Emma > From: dback1935@msn.com > To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com > Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:35:57 -0700 > Subject: Re: [ML] Liver and lights at Ma's... > > > I was only 2 years old when my dad's mother died.

Jeannie, What a grand memory you shared with us! I too have many wonderful memories of my grandparents and the wonderful food Gram made and she also never wasted a morsel of food! My favorite time was when I would walk in and she had relish or piccalilli simmering in the big pot-wonderful smell and so good on food! Now people worry home canned food will kill them-we grew up on it and survived -I never member anyone getting food poisoning as they claim to get today! Waste not-want not was what Gram said! Helen

What a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing Sent from my Nokia phone -----Original Message----- From: askgranny@juno.com Sent: 02/27/2011 12:05:57 AM Subject: [ML] Liver and lights at Ma's... I can remember going to stay all night with Ma and she would let me choose what we would have for supper.....She canned just about everything....and had a big 'Fruit closet' built into the corner of her kitchen...She would stand there holding the curtain back and I would take a long time choosing.....I can still see it in my mind....bright orange/golden sweet potatoes, cherries canned seed and all to be made into cobblers or preserves later, greens, chicken, soup, green beans, small potatoes, sausage and tenderloin fried and then canned with grease covering the top of the jar......fried apples....etc, etc, etc...Oh yeah...we ate good ! I remember her surprise one time when I chose a quart of 'Variety meat' for our meal....Most folks called them 'liver and lights' .This was the innards of the pig..liver, lung, kidney, sweetbreads, etc...When folks killed hogs Ma was always there to help work the meat up and they were glad to give her these parts of the pig that most folks didn't eat...Heck, she ate the tail, ears, and everything in between...but drew the line at eating chitlins....Yep, Ma was a good cook , but for supper she only ate a goblet of sweet milk with crumbled up cornbread in it. I just remember her eating supper with us one time.....Her main meal was breakfast.......Jeannie T.....................................In loving memory of Cora Berline Barker Buntin ____________________________________________________________ Globe Life Insurance $1* Buys $50,000 Life Insurance.
