When Thanksgiving came mine always made up several trays of em and put em in the freezer and got em out as she needed em, we never knew how many would be there for breakfast. We bird hunted in those days and from Thanksgiving day til the end of February we hunted 3 or 4 times a week. Havent had biscuit in years that could even touch hers out of the freezer. Things were simple then and cooking was the same way. Tam makes a cake that is very simple and ole school, my favorite.

You ever noticed how your grandma could make a meal to feed 10 hungry folks outa nothing.There would be so much on the table you hardly had room for your plate!!

Growing up at home, always had 2 pans of biscuits on the table for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, oatmeal or grits and home made jellies or molasses. For dinner, 1 pan of biscuits and a pan of cornbread. Veggies and fruit were what we grew or bartered, canned and froze. Meats were served on sunday and holidays. Most trips to the store were for milk, sugar, flour, spices and some canned veggies we didn't grow. Loaf bread and lunch meats were for my dad's lunch. If the other kids in the neighbor hood wanted to play a game of ball or something. And I had to help my parents with veggies. They would jump in and help until my parents would say that's enough. If offered a pbj on a leftover biscuit with home made jelly, they would run over each other to get their's first.
