Then make a double recipe of vanilla pudding and pour it over the bananas and wafers while still hot. Put meringue on top and bake just long enough to slightly brown the meringue.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-34423766046467585642015-07-25T16:29:40.333+10:002015-07-25T16:29:40.333+10:00Snow,

I therefore ate a lot of grits, fried chicken, fried fish, white rice, boiled greens, fried okra, black-eyes peas, cornbread, biscuits, and sweetened ice tea. My favorite desserts were—and still are—lemon meringue pie and banana pudding made with vanilla wafers.<br /><br />I wish you would post more because I start to feel out of touch and even to worry.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-10462313994415168882015-07-02T18:06:07.966+10:002015-07-02T18:06:07.966+10:00Robb,

My grandma was from Germany, a somewhat taciturn woman but she could cook! The dish I recall best was something she called City Chicken..which was not chicken at all but rather breaded veal and pork on skewers and cooked in the oven with some sort of sauce. The aroma was out of this world! She lived to be 103...<br />Aroha,<br />Robb Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-21107205251759015692015-06-30T21:50:30.005+10:002015-06-30T21:50:30.005+10:00Anne,

She made the best cornbread in the world, and made outstanding chicken and dumplings. She was not much of a baker so dessert at her house was always neopolitan ice cream.

This was when I had been taken by her and my grandfather to spend a few days with them when I would have been about four or so. Subsequently, she came back in to our lives when she was much older and quite feeble and could not cook. She would help my mother with the chopping of vegetables etc, but could not cook. I cannot really remember anything special about her cooking. I never saw my maternal grandmother who had died before my parents got married.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-22656452848490362712015-06-14T20:06:27.715+10:002015-06-14T20:06:27.715+10:00It changes with the season.
