@teddletonmr - It is so great to have your kids help cook. Those are some of my greatest memories as a child. My grandmother would let me help her make biscuits and I would get flour all over me and the kitchen. LOL. Everyone always seems to be in a such a hurry these days... slowing down and involving the kids really makes for great memories at the end of the day.

My motto for anything is to buy local if you can. I agree that we have to support the little guys! But I would never have known what to expect from mail ordering flowers so your experience was interesting to hear.

My grandpa always had a huge garden that he had strategically planned out. I wish I would have been old enough back then to learn a little something from him. You have some very good tips here, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@pinkchic18 - Aren't they all such great colors? They go with everything and with everyone's skin tone. Nice to have a color in your pocketbook that you can throw on whenever you need to and not worry about it matching so much. Thanks for stopping in.

I do understand how demanding having four kids around the house can be. My wife and I have two boys that try their best to eat us out of house and home. Fried chicken is one of their favorite foods.
Our two girls, enjoy helping in the kitchen, much the same as you helping your grandmother when you were just a little lady.
Warmest regards, Mike

Love that wallflower color, it's subtle but just bold enough. Wonderful article.

@teddletonmr - Yes.. I have seen and heard about buttermilk. Some people soak their chicken all night in buttermilk too. There are so many ways to fix this great dish. I too need to experiment a little. With four kids I do well to get anything cooked without burning it! Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

i'll be looking out for some red petticoats tomorrow!

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes sweet tea and cornbread. Are my favorite southern foods. Thanks for sharing your grandmaw's fried chicken recipe. What about using buttermilk in the egg wash?
Be well, eat well. Mike

Though I never experienced a NDE (Near death Experience) I've often astral-projected, starting since a tramatized abused child. Deb, your Poems and stories are always riveting. Like me, you touch on subject matters most would rather stay away from. I admire the literary bravery .....

I don't wear a watch everyday myself, Brenda. I think of these watches as more of a "neat" accessory.

Katie - I don't mind tweeting at all. I eat mostly vegetables and not too much meat as I have gotten older. Chicken and fish are my favorite. I have gotten to where beef upsets my stomach...just not worth eating it. Glad you like my Mamo's recipe. She would be proud.

Hi Brenda - so many people tell me I am crazy for dredging in the egg first. That is just the way my grandmother told me to do it and have always done it that way. Either way I think it makes a good crust and yummy fried chicken. Thanks for stopping in.

Nice one! And thank you very much for educating your kids into their rights. <3

Yes it should, I know I'm bringing into our home.
