A piece of paper with my grandmother's supposed recipe.
Before the recent Christmas holiday I visited family and my Mom unearthed an old piece paper with my Grandmother’s handwriting on it. It was a recipe for Turkey dressing. It’s probably 15 to 20 or more years old. My Grandmother(or Mamaw as I affectionately called her) passed away in the early 90’s.
My Aunt had asked for my Grandmother’s homemade recipe for Turkey dressing and she wrote it down for her. It wasn’t until she read the whole recipe that she realized the sneaky nature of my “Mamaw”.
“Recipe for Turkey Dressing
3 cups of bread crumbs
2 cups of popcorn
2 cups of celery
1 cup of onions
1 tbsp of salt
1 tbsp of pepper
1 tbsp of sage
Moisten with milk. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 hours until popcorn pops and blows the turkey’s ass clear across the room. This indicates that the turkey is done and well cooked.”
Even in the afterlife my Grandmother is cracking jokes. Hilarious!!
