There are so many stories we could all tell about Mamaw. What a fun, interesting, hardworking woman she was! I have spent many, many days at 402 Simpson Street..to me there was no better place to be!
I loved Ma so much! I loved 'trying' to 'shock' her but we all know that wasn't possible..she could turn the tables on us quickly...always saying what she was thinking and meaning every word of it! ha! That is one of the things I loved about her and when I find myself doing the same thing..I realize how much like her I am...and that's a good thing!
What was your favorite Mamaw meal? Oh...how we could all talk about that. I can just see that table full now and everything piping hot...how did she do that!?
One day, many, many years ago...I had her to give me her Chicken and Dressing recipe. As she told me..I wrote it down in her words EXACTLY. Of course..there are no measurements...everything was referred to as a pinch..or just a little bit of this...not to much...or about this much. ha! When I make my dressing...I pull that recipe out..and as I read it and put in all my ingredients...I can 'hear' her...she helps me make that wonderful, delicious 'Mamaw Dressing' and guess what? It turns out just like hers! She helps me make it. Without a doubt.
