I've been wondering about the Sweet Potato Queen books, I'll add them to my list!
Are you serious about dumplin's being like noodles???!!! That's RIGHT!!!! They're flat and slick, not puffy globs like northern dumplings. Hallelujah, I thought our family was insane -- well, yeah, but not in that way.
Hoe-cake, unsweetened cornbread in a cast iron skillet, get the oil nice and hot before you pour the batter in so it sizzles like heck and gets nice and crispy, then bake in the oven and cut into wedges. Slather with butter or crumble up in a glass of buttermilk. YEAH!
FRY PIES!!!! I forgot all about them!!!! My gram usually made apricot ones. With powdered sugar sprinkled on them??
Okay, translation time, first into vernacular, then into the Queen's English:
"M R Ducks" = "Them are ducks" = "Those are ducks"
"M R Not Ducks" = Them are NOT ducks" = "Those are NOT ducks"
"OSAR Ducks, C'm Wings" = Those ARE ducks, comeon, WINGS" = Those are ducks, come on, they have wings."
"L....I....B,... M R Ducks"!!! = "Well I'll be, them ARE ducks" = "Well, goodness gracious, those ARE ducks."
Am I close? (Sounds just like my mom's Uncle Clyde talking to her Uncle Ben!)
