Personal Notes:
We all know Fannie Smith as Gamms. Nana Emma also prepared her chicken this way. Years ago, the women of the family fried several chickens and served them with mashed potatoes, gravy made from the drippings, and fresh garden vegetables like sweet corn, okra and tomatoes. The family gatherings were often 25-30 "cousins."
