Was her class as small as yours!!!! I believe the only schools that have classes as small as that are the private schools around here. I heard that Lancaster Day had only around that many the one year. I don't keep up on them, but are your schools in IN all THAT small? I thought Columbia's were small. When Lindsey graduated her class was 66; but, now the classes are about 100, at least I believe this year's was. Oh, speaking of cars!!!

I'm not complaining, because that is a good thing, but I will maybe use the cornbread as a dessert, or snack someday. The air conditioning behind me, just kicked on.

I'm trying to think of where I saw that, and it must have been Redner's, because the NAME isn't unfamiliar to me.

Anyone have a tried and true cornbread recipe? :o) Lynn -------------------- We always use those Jiffy mixes to make corn bread with an extra eggg. I realize it ceases to be corn bread and becomes corn cake but it is very good with lots of butter. :-) Tomorrow's my 22 year high school class reunion. Its the first one our class has ever done so this is going to be very interesting. We were only a class of 23 so its going to be very low budget. My Aunt Joyce went to her 50th Reunion and it was held at the Studebaker Museum. How cool is that? They even brought in a '57 Chevy so class members could have their pictures taken. :-) Rick B

Cathy~ Personally, I prefer collards to mustards~collards are strong, but don't have the bitter taste that mustards do..... I always start with putting my empty pot on the stove and heat it till the bottom of the pot is getting hot....then throw in 4-5 strips of a thick sliced bacon and 1 diced up onion....cook them down good....don't let them burn, but stir them around a bit...and don't worry too much about them getting stuck to the bottom, you're going to take care of that in the next couple of steps....after you've cooked down your bacon a bit, add a couple of ham hocks (or hog jowls or some other smoked pork whatever), about 2 cups of diced ham and about 2-4 cups of water...the water hitting the hot pan is going to loosen up any meat sticking to the bottom...season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder (optional), a little bit of some liquid smoke and let it cook for a few minutes....then remove your ham hocks and any other meat with bones, remove the bones and return the meat to the pot....start adding your greens, put the lid and cook them down till they're tender....periodically y! ou'll w ant to check your pot liquor (the "juice") for taste and if needed, add more seasoning....when the collards are tender, they're ready....a little splash of vinegar, some cornbread to mop up the pot liquor and you are in business! You can always use less meat, I just prefer a lot of meat in my greens~I can make a meal out of a bowl of collards, a hunk of buttered cornbread and a big glass of sweet tea~suits me just fine!

Since I lived in New England for 38 year and was born in PA, it was not considered to be anything but Mid Atlantic. Connie -----Original Message----- From: dorner1065@aol.com To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 6:08 pm Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Grits/Maryland/PA Yeah--since they were a border state during the war, they were divided in their sympathies.? You won't find much of this in Western Maryland since they're so removed from the rest of the state, or in the DC metro area where a lot of the residents are not natives.? The other state where this seems to be prevalent is Missouri--which on a map doesn't seem to be that Southern, but it stems from sympathies during the war. Pennsylvania can fit into either the Northeast or the Mid-Atlantic, which is kind of odd since we don't border the Atlantic, but I don't think many Marylanders would consider themselves part of the Northeast. State lines don't often agree with how people feel or what they consider themselves to be part of. In the 1780's settlers in my part of the state were feeling?ignored by the colonial government (some things never change!) and tried to "secede" from the rest of Pennsylvania and form a new colony called Westsylvania, that also would've included Western Maryland, what is now West Virginia, some of Virginia and part of Kentucky.? That's a geographical area that makes sense as a region--it would be interesting to know how that would've turned out.
