Ink Peppers Writing Group - 12/2/09 - This is a fun exercise or creative writing prompt: make a list of all the foods that are traditional or important in your family. Then, turn them into poetry or prose describing who you are.
These are some amaaaaaaaaazing foods that are pretty typical to eat in my family...
- Sour Red Cabbage - shredded, simmered with apple cider vinegar, Crisco, and chopped-up apples.
- Mashed potatoes and gravy- what makes this special is the peas mixed in!
- Johnny Cake- I don't think we make it the right way- it's just mushed up cornbread with milk and honey
- Soup and Sandwiches (BLT's and tomato soup with milk- not water)
- Apple pie with vanilla ice cream
- Coffee Mania coffee- what started off as a special treat on hard-working days quickly became a daily ritual.
- Nestle Toll House cookies
- Leftover Soup- take whatever meat and vegetables are in the fridge/freezer, mix them with some stock and spices, and call it leftover soup!
Me:
An apple pie lady with a soup-and-sandwiches attitude,
Coffeemania energy and a red cabbage spunk
I'll take my mashed potatoes (and mix in the peas)
And end up with a life of Leftover Soup (something old, something new!)
Savor it fully with Toll House cookies to finish :o)
