I love soup - any time of the year.  Here's one I stirred up recently to go with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

It's Sunday, a perfect day for a nice leisurely breakfast with all the family.  So . . . how about pancakes?  De-lish!  Let's get started . . .

OK - it's been a week since I posted the Sourdough Mother recipe, so your mothers should be about 3 to 5 days old now.  Lets start using them with this . . .

Sourdough - yum!  Here's a version I adapted from another process.  Recipes for using the starter will follow.  You have to get it going first.

Happy Derby Day! 

One of my favorite memories from when I was 8 or 9 years old was the time Mom took Granny and me on a trip through Kentucky.  We visited Fort Harrod and then drove to the Shaker Village before heading to Bardstown to see The Stephen Foster Story along with My Old Kentucky Home.  My first memory of corn pudding was when we had lunch during our visit to the Shaker Village.  It wasn't until Mom bought me a copy of The Derby Festival Cookbook published by the Junior League of Louisville that I found a recipe I could use to make it at home.

Move over McDonald's - my Granny's fried pies beat yours any day (even before they changed to baked ones).  I don't remember her making these very often, but when she did, it was a special treat.  Psst . . . uncooked pies freeze well if you fill with fruit.
