Hello everyone!!! Jane, what a nice surprise to find you in here posting about rivels! They sound delicious. You, Gloria, and others are making me hungry while I sit here "starving" myself on Ash Wednesday! Last night Jane and I became charter members of the Crazy Quilt Club in Woodstock, and tonight we are out in cyberspace talking about rivels. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?!? My mom made rivels at home in Fort Valley. I don't recall her using a recipe. She just sort of crumbled up the egg and flour with her fingers or, maybe, one of those skinny little three-pronged meat forks. My sister in West VA has all of her composition notebooks of recipes. Maybe, someday I will look at them. Mom put rivels in white bean soup, and we cut up onions with them. Also, she put them in potato soup which was usually flavored with chunks of fried stuffed sausage. I used to put rivils in bean soup, and will have to give it a try again soon. (I am getting hungry!!!) My most recent rivel encounters were in the cafeteria of Shenandoah Memorial Hospital when I worked there years back. Martha Ritenour made the best rivel soup with beef broth. They had some GOOD cooks there. Martha was in her glory when she dished out her comforting Shenandoah County Epicurean delights. Another wonderful cook at the hospital was my friend, Eva Cline. I love Eva. She resides at the rest home on Ox Road across from the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds. Several years back she stayed home from worship service down at Valley Pike COB to cook a meal for the preacher, his wife, Billy Bob and me. What a pleasant memory of a home cooked dinner (at lunchtime, that is!!!)........fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, creamed limas and anything else you can imagine. (Gosh, am I ever hungry?!?) Eva was a dedicated quilter, too. She was always there on Tuesdays with the Ladies Fellowship group at her certain spot quilting away. Only a few of the quilters remain at Valley Pike, but they are keeping on. Jane and I went last week and had lunch with them. We sat there, and crocheted blocks for COB disaster relief. I doubt that I will ever be able to hand quilt again with my injured hands, but who knows about Jane? I'm enjoying our friendship. She gets me out and going. Thanks for the kind words, Jane. I'll have to give you another pretty feedsack!!! Later, Nancy PS: I hope I spelled "rivels" correctly. Spell Check didn't recognize it, and wanted me to use rival instead.
