Just change that to in time for Christmas Texan for my Momma. She remembers
getting sick on sorghum skim, how good tomato sandwiches are especially when
that is all you have to eat, and four to a bed is comfy winter or summer.
One recipe we have been searching for is "Corn Meal Dumplings". She is
thinking that her Momma created it out of necessity more then anything.
"Nonnie" wouldn't pass the recipe down saying "It wasn't as good as you
remember it." Our attempts to recreate have been amusing to say the least.
Need something to fill in those nasty potholes?  If anyone can give
direction, knows of a family recipe, etc. Please...share?

P.S. Oh, we never talked about Merle and prison because it was over "that
woman" and well we don't think it's polite to speak of her in mixed company. <
