Down Home Cooking

Down home cooking is the thing to know. Baking,frying and cooking food real slow. Going to pot luck suppers and a bake sale. Frying up some hushpuppies and pulling fish from a pail. Mom's soups and stews are the best they can be. She'll dip you up some and served with a glass of ice tea. Our feeling's go into the food we cook. The food's so good cause of the time we took. Sometimes we put a chicken into a pot. Throw in some dumplins that was what granny taught. Desserts are the best there all homemade. Laying under a big oak tree sipping lemon-aid. Home grown melon by the slice. It's so good it makes you think twice. If your hungry stop and try a taste. Our foods so good you won't want to waste. There's chocolate gravy and sweet potato pie. Beans and chili that makes you say my oh my. Bisquits and bread made fresh everyday. We learned to do the canning granny's way. So come on by and grab something to eat. Down home cooking is such a treat. Teresa Skyles Entered in Brian
