It seems like I eat the same old same old, anymore. I remember some dishes that only my Gramma or my Mommie would make and boy do I miss them.
What was your favorite dish that is too hard for you to make now and the only person who could make it for you, is deceased?
I'll go first.....
Mine was called Chicken Bot Boy. My Grandma's specialty, passed down to my Mother and then to me.....but too hard for me to make, now.
My Mom always made it for me on my Birthday. That's probably why I have trouble keeping my weight down today..
You have to have a good roasting/boiling chicken. You simmer the chicken all day in water, salt, pepper, sage, and celary flakes., till the meat falls from the bones....then you take it all out and debone it. You make home made dumpling-like noodles and put them in the broth and cook untill done....then put the cut up chicken back in the broth. The broth will have thickened while the noodles cooked.
Serve over or next to a big mound of buttered mashed potatoes.....and pig out..

A baked gooey baked apple goes well with this.
Yummmmmmmmm.. Drooooooool.. Slobbbbbber.
Next.........
