My mother was an excellent cook. She and my dad were from Eastern Kentucky and both from large families. She gad a foot high stack of her hand written recipes, when she passed. An entitled aunt snatched them, before I could photocopy them. I had wanted to put them into a cookbook, She's been gone almost 40 years, and I still miss things like her Cornbread and other other things that she did so well. She was a school cook near the end of her life. The kids would ask, "What did you make, today?" then it was the first things that sold out. Most of the rest of the food was partially eaten, then tossed but the kids would come tell her how good their lunch had been.

Sounds like a wonderful lady!

@@KentuckyHistoryChannel She was. She also worked as a seamstress. She raised a small garden and canned a lot of our food. She made quilts, knitted Afghans and each year she made over 100 stuffed animals to donate to a local Children's home. She won a lot of blue ribbons at the annual county fair, in Hamilton Ohio for her crafts. One year they tried to disqualify her homemade soap entry because it was made in a fancy candle mode, and was perfumed with all of the mold makes carefully removed. We lost her to cancer in her early 50s, in the mid '80s. My dad worked at a corrugated paper box plant for 25 years, then took a job as a cabinet maker. He lived me after he retired a second time, and we built some custom cabinets from my garage. We used to joke that they were built by 'Two Briarhoppers, and a hammer' because of idiots that think people from Kentucky were skills and lazy. I tested out of a three year Engineering school, in the US Army. which really upset a lot of people at Ft Knox. I was the only one to ever achieve this, and they could mo longer claim, 'No one can pass this test' Over all my family was blessed with many skills.
