Notes: Mother's mother was the kind of cook who could take anything and create a feast. She was really old school, things were cooked "until they were done." Measurements were more like "until it looked right" or by taste. It worked well… Except for the time that the older grandkids provided rabbits for supper. Grandma knew that we younger kids would have trouble eating Bugs Bunny, so she made it look like chicken. It tasted good until we knew what it was, and the big boys certainly would not let that opportunity pass!
