I was only 21 when I lost my Granny - she was something special - had to be to have raised my Dad who was one of the most wonderful people in the world.<br /><br />And Jane - Crisco is a vegetable shortening, used to grease cake pans, make biscuits light and flaky, etc - but not very healthy.<br />I&#39;ll have to recite cornbread for you next - it&#39;s a cake/pone made with corn meal - yummy!Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03729302719897979984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546135334655545928.post-57990826601366171142012-01-16T15:48:28.283-05:002012-01-16T15:48:28.283-05:00This is such a sweet story. My Granny is 96 now. When I was a child I stayed with her and we made cheese straws and cheese scones. She used to have a coal fire and we had to soften the butter in front of it before we could use it. She doesn&#39;t cook any more but I make cheese scones and cheese straws with my younger daughter. <br /><br />Jane<br /><br />PS what is crisco? we don&#39;t have it in EnglandJanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06408006339464066594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546135334655545928.post-75421362166267514732012-01-16T03:44:56.060-05:002012-01-16T03:44:56.060-05:00I loved hearing your story, and am so pleasantly surprised it is an old family recipe as opposed to an online thing. I am the one who asked &#39;What&#39;s for dinner?&#39; and then for the recipe and story, thanks for sharingMona Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03573537999742243406noreply@blogger.com
