Recipes!!!!! Thank you, bb! I will definitely post pics/recounting when I make this, because it looks so delicious. I hear you on relatives not giving out recipes. Mine don't write them down or use measurements - but that's how you know they're good - and you know there's no reproducing a real seasoned cast iron skillet with 10 years of fat baked into it.
Not sure if I'm ready for pickling. I did make yogurt earlier this year, with some pretty good results, but don't have the capacity to do pickling in my little apartment and sad electric stove. Have you pickled other things? I love pickles but would want to pickle, say, non-cucumber items if I tried it.
Oh, to your pronunciations. One of the funny things about the DC accent is we say 'aunt' like an abbreviation of "on it" and not like the insect. Maybe it's the southern influence on the city. And 'rural' as one syllable - heheheh, yes.
You're welcome! Yes, I demand pics or it didn't happen!
That pickle recipe is a perfect example of family recipes, heh. It took us about 8 years to get a copy of it, those ingredients are approximations and the original directions are about 1/4 the words. We haven't pickled anything recently, but when I was a kid, we used to. I remember tomatoes, onions, and garlic specifically. Then there was my Grandmama's epic quest to find pickled lotus root that spanned 4 states and about 6 years. The most hilarious part was she'd spent the entire time talking it up to her Garden Club because she'd heard about it in China and when she finally found it, she thought it was disgusting.

Okay, this recipe looks way better than the one I was going to use anyway. Soon as I find me crawfish tails + fat, this is so gettin' in my belleh. Thank you! And hi! *friends*

Are you from Pensacola? I know someone you know is. Oh, I see, no.
I am. Everyone I know has that cookbook. The picture of its cover was surprising to me in a random post on lj.
