Ärende: RE: southern cooking
============================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> ->  hn> That was my maternal grandmother, my paternal grandmother
-> -> ->  hn> made the best pecan pie, banana pudding, and divinity candy
-> 
-> -> -> Good southern cooking, all of it.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Figures though (grin), they were both Tennessee
-> ->  hn> girls.
-> 
-> -> And probably well indoctrinated by their grannies on how to cook 
proper.
-> 
->  hn> totally and completely!
-> 
-> My mom had no experience with it, nor did her mom. I never knew my dad's
-> mom but she was northern born & raised.  But, when Steve and I got
-> married, he'd been living in NC for a year & knew several older women
-> who helped me learn some of the secrets of good southern cooking.  No
-> sugar in corn bread was drummed into my head early on. (G)
-> 
Oh yes!! Up here the norm is corn bread
that's way sweeter than I like...to me it's 
more like cake than cornbread!

-> 
-> -> -> Well, we're now riding around in a Ford Escape.  Steve picked up the
->  hn> car
-> -> -> Saturday morning; the light went on again Sunday night on our way 
to
-> -> -> they've seen come and go.  But, this is the 4th time our car has 
been
->  hn> to
-> -> -> the dealer trying to right the problem.
-> 
-> ->  hn> At least the dealer is working on fixing it.
-> 
-> -> Yes, but it's still under warranty so they've no choice. They have been
-> -> good about it.  Steve got the car today but I've not been out with him
-> -> yet.
-> 
->  hn> While it is still under warrnanty is a good thing!
->  hn> Keep good documentation and the problem can
->  hn> still be covered even after the warranty has
->  hn> expired.
-> 
-> Meanwhile, Steve is talking of trading it in. The car is in the shop for
-> the 5th time, same problem. Get the same rental car back as he turned in
-> on Saturday (our car went in on Monday morning).  This time they're
-> going to replace at least some, if not all of the wiring harness.  The
-> car is too old to be replaced under lemon laws, even GA's stricter ones
-> than the federal, but we should get some sort of compensation, I hope.
->
Well, if you can get out from under it and
get something better now is a good time!
Car dealerships are BEGGING for customers!!
Make a tough deal and try for a "wednesday" 
car!
 
-> ->  hn> We've been lucky, both Anne's vibe and
-> ->  hn> my Montana SV6 have had no problems
-> ->  hn> at all other than scheduled maintainence.
-> ->  hn> (knock on wood!!)
->  hn> ->
-> -> Pray that it continues that way.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> Amen and AMEN!!
-> 
-> No Pontiac dealers wanted to seriously talk with us in HI when we wanted
-> to buy on the main land.  I liked the Hyndai Tucson but Steve wasn't
-> happy with the gas milage figures on it.
->
we've been very happy with both our cars, and 
have no plans to change at this point.
 
-> ->  hn> Yup, a humid cold is a biting penetrating cold!
-> ->  hn> And a humid heat just sucks your energy right
-> ->  hn> out of you....No way to win!!
-> 
-> -> Only way is to get out of the humid areas.  We're moving inland.
-> 
->  hn> I hates to tole you this my chile....but
->  hn> you hai'nt going near far enough inland
->  hn> to 'scape that humidcity!! Thet's a mizzable
->  hn> place in the summer times! (can you tell I've
->  hn> just been reading Lil' Abner? )
-> 
-> Soun's lake ye're talking 'geechee or gullah.  Anyway, the Raleigh area
-> is less humid than living right on the coast.
-> 
->

enjoy the difference though! I have Family in 
the Raliegh area as well.
