"larapin" Haven't heard that in years!!! That should have been in the North/ South article PJ just posted... For those who don't know, that means GOOOOOOD!!! smiles I saw Paula Dean on Larry King's show, she said "cornbread dumpling". I've never had them, would they be like "hush puppies"??? Dropped dumplins are just that, dropped in hot liquid rather than rolled out??? I am from Pilot Oak, Graves County, KY and my Mama sometimes made dumplings with boiled squirrel??? And I remember fried rabbit and biscuits and gravey for breakfast... My Daddy was an avid hunter. My Mama, Evelyn Williams Melton, died July 21st at age 91.

My "Grandad" Arthur GREEN from Monroe County, AR used to say that all the time. He was a hoot! Part Indian - and sometimes we thought he was having a "fit". Ha! I thought until sometime last year it was just one of his sayings. Then I read it in a book somewhere. So I guess it is just another of those Southern phrases. -----Original Message----- From: tnweakle-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnweakle-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of M.E.Sorensen Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 11:51 AM To: tnweakle@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Dumplin's I hadn't heard larapin in years! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgia Miller" <gab0647@airmail.net> To: <TNWEAKLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 10:45 AM Subject: [TNWEAKLE] Dumplin's > My grandmother used to make cornbread dumplin's.

Wonder what the origin of "larapin" is??? I love this site, it's almost as good as a trip 'back home'...
