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.
