Our kitchen would take on the look of the Fried-Green-Tomatoes Caffay, with flour and dust and such a scent of frying sugar in the air.<br /><br />love and,<br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-61904372207057876802014-10-10T13:42:17.901-04:002014-10-10T13:42:17.901-04:00I just found your blog and wanted to see how very ...I just found your blog and wanted to see how very much I enjoy your writing! You have SUCH a unique gift. It is just a pleasure to read the words that flow here. So grateful you were able to take all of those words and create the wonderful five books. What a treasure for your little ones to carry with them through life! God bless you for bringing a smile to my face today.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-87782760292338803102014-10-04T15:56:21.289-04:002014-10-04T15:56:21.289-04:00Don's grandmother used to make fried pies.

Every year, my friends Tina and Shirley and I go to a little craft show in the teeny town of Gay, Georgia. It's really just 2 highways crossing! But, it comes alive for 2 days in the spring and fall. Well, they have a group there every year making those hot, delicious peach fried pies. We get one when we go in and get another on the way out!Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-49249587953051381192014-10-03T18:20:00.630-04:002014-10-03T18:20:00.630-04:00Oh, dear.

Though we make pounds and pounds of the Marshmallow-Cream fudge every year, every now and then I just get a hankerin' for that old dense, intense Hershey's recipe. I think it holds more than just a taste memory---it's more of a sense of a time and place, when you buttered a platter, had a little cup ready with cold water to check the "ball stage" and could scritch those last sugar-grained deep chocolate bits off the WearEver to lick from the spoon.<br /><br />Thank you for joining us---I hope you'll come by again soon.<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-63263524390282795782014-09-28T00:12:25.047-04:002014-09-28T00:12:25.047-04:00Fudge brings me right back to my childhood and tee...Fudge brings me right back to my childhood and teen yrs. We made the old fashioned Hershey, recipe on the can, fudge..no electric mixer so we beat it by hand, sitting on the front porch. Sooo good and,to this day, when I make fudge, it's that same recipe.<br />Now, fried pies...oh, honey. My mother in law made the best apricot fried pies I've ever put in my mouth and I have her recipe. Love them...<br />Loved your cute post...<br />Thanks for coming by..come back soon...and I am now following you.<br />xo bjbj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-51639329857391062702014-09-27T12:48:13.139-04:002014-09-27T12:48:13.139-04:00Oh, Donna!

DO try this easiest of all recipes (not counting the one where you just melt chocolate chipe in Eagle Brand).<br /><br />We've made this for about forty years now, and I think I could make it blindfolded, if somebody would watch the clock for me.<br /><br />I think out of all the hundreds of batches of this over the years, maybe ONE just MIGHT have had a little sugar-crunch in a bite or two. It's SUPER creamy and wonderful.<br /><br />http://lawntea.blogspot.com/2009/12/fudge-recipe.html<br /><br />Vary the depth and firmness by the amounts of chips or chopped chocolate you use.<br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-88792187753711099812014-09-27T12:19:20.944-04:002014-09-27T12:19:20.944-04:00Fried pies?

I love fudge, but not the grainy kind. Mine always turns out hard so I quit making it.
