Kenneth, I enjoyed your letter so much! I am from the south and agree very
strongly about cornbread not having sugar! LOL I also enjoyed your
reference to learning bread baking <or any> techniques from our elders.
There was a recent discussion on another list I am on and I made the
comment how sad it was that the kids of today might not ever taste a
homemade biscuit or sadder yet, not watch "old hands" making them. One of
my most vivid childhood memories is watching my grandmother making biscuits
and giving me just a bite of that raw dough. That taste is so viviidly
etched into my mind. To this day, when I make biscuits, I taste the dough
and it takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Thanks again for sharing.
