The bread pudding you describe is exactly like that Mama made. However, I don't remember food sitting out on the table between meals. But when I started dating Hubby, his farm family did it that way. I remember being surprised, but as you say, there never seemed to be a problem with that practice. Thanks for sharing the great memories. (Mama had a bacon drippings can too and used it in the beans.)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537068241470601027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-41170616837555576142011-08-24T22:45:46.634-05:002011-08-24T22:45:46.634-05:00Dee from Tennesssee

And we always put the majority of our leftovers in the oven, including left-over fried chicken. Some things were put in the fridge, but it was the oven. The first time I did that waaaaaaaay back in the days when I attempted to cook, my husband about stroked out on me ...LOL. HIS family ALWAYS put everything in the fridge....LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-72384349619632515802011-08-14T20:42:46.464-05:002011-08-14T20:42:46.464-05:00Your grandmother Gertrude reminds me of my Maw Maw...Your grandmother Gertrude reminds me of my Maw Maw. Just a simple, country cook, but lots of good home-grown veggies, beans with ham hocks, etc. I also remember leaving food out until supper without any incidents. Sometimes I feel guilty for not having big Sunday dinners for my own kids. Everyone seems to be off doing their own thing and I don't push it. Maybe I should!Gail Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697820311332653232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-36908279091983197132011-08-14T11:34:31.881-05:002011-08-14T11:34:31.881-05:00There was a lot of love and comfort in those home ...There was a lot of love and comfort in those home cooked meals, and lessons still valuable today in thrift and no waste.

Sitting at the computer doesn't use many calories; wish it were otherwise but, no, it's not.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-11029762538406105152011-08-13T22:17:18.516-05:002011-08-13T22:17:18.516-05:00C, you could have written my own story.

We've never worried about it, and none of us ever got sick.<br /><br />I think the secret of eating that way long ago was that they didn't sit an office all day long. My grands were farmers and they were out working hard all day long. Even the grandmothers worked hard inside and in the garden. We can't eat that way nowadays.<br /><br />Loved this post!

This was interesting reading from the past.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580566645138790920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-82407560249772467152011-08-13T17:43:35.716-05:002011-08-13T17:43:35.716-05:00Boy does this bring back memories.

My mum learned from her Depression-cook mother. I remember coming home from school on Fridays to the most amazing aromas - Mum would have spent the day baking - bread, molasses cookies, oatmeal cookies, cinnamon buns, date squares.....all day long, and everything cooling on opened brown paper bags on every flat surface.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-68709093676980117412011-08-13T11:16:14.619-05:002011-08-13T11:16:14.619-05:00A pleasure to read this post.

One a "country" cook and one a "city" cook, but the memories of both styles of cooking make me feel hugged. <br /><br />Yes, we are much heavier today than folks were back then and here they were eating real butter, gravy, bacon grease, and all manner of "evil." I don't know what the cause of my weight issues, perhaps it's the sedentary lifestyle, who knows, but I don't like it.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-17604255678278809192011-08-13T07:00:56.764-05:002011-08-13T07:00:56.764-05:00We used to eat just like this at both of my grandm...We used to eat just like this at both of my grandmother's homes.
