Family Tree by Signe Wilkinson for January 28, 2013

Try Haggis,Neeps and Tatties if she comes from Scotland but only on Burns Night…

But it only works if it tastes like grandma’s. I spent the 29 years trying to get my stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbage to taste like grandma’s. Finally found the secret 3 years ago. Funny part is when I mentioned what I found to my relatives-they ALL knew the secret, but wouldn’t tell me when I asked!

My maternal grandmother’s specialty was overcooked meat, but her pecan pies made up for that until her eyes started to fail. (She preferred to shell her own pecans – ouch!)

My paternal grandmother’s specialty was cooking wild turkey (the bird, not the whiskey), but sense of smell went out and we learned not to eat any more of her cakes. She couldn’t tell if the milk had soured or not.

“Savory” Jell-o??

Love tatties, neeps and haggis!
