Though I like the idea of sugar on rice and grits. As a matter of fact, I think grits are under-appreciated; I like a lot of foods of that sort, from the coarser end with grits to the finer end with Farina (anyone remember Farina? - We can only find it in a couple of stores here.)Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-48301840748163679422009-02-11T08:48:00.000-08:002009-02-11T08:48:00.000-08:00Divinity, kolaches, breaded tomatoes...mmmmmm!

Stewed tomatoes with bread and sugar is a dish my grandmother used to make. Although I have not had it in a long time, I'm craving for it now. (Smile)<BR/><BR/>My grandmother also put sugar in everything like rice, grits, and stewed tomatoes.Professor Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674796159290496998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-13185329410813314172009-02-10T18:31:00.000-08:002009-02-10T18:31:00.000-08:00Becky, I won't make fun of your husband for his st...Becky, <BR/><BR/>I won't make fun of your husband for his strange taste in food, because I'm sure that I like some foods that others would find strange, too! Thank you for your encouraging comments.<BR/><BR/>Judith,<BR/><BR/>Yes, absolutely, I would love your recipe for the chocolate balls! My daughters and I can try to make them at Christmas time. They must be a Texas thing. And I highly recommend the Joy of Cooking kolache recipe - though it's labor-intensive, too.<BR/><BR/>Terry,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind comments. You obviously understand the "art" of filching food, if only by observation. I think my daughters have inherited the talent - I never see them taking the food, but then it's all gone.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-15588612265814902042009-02-09T21:05:00.000-08:002009-02-09T21:05:00.000-08:00Hmm, I'm sitting here wondering about how long it ...Hmm, I'm sitting here wondering about how long it took for you to decide how many of those chocolate covered pecan balls you could appropriate before someone would become wise. My sister was the chocolate lover when we were children. My mother could never find a place to hide the chocolate that Marcia couldn't find. This was a fun post to read!TERRY SNYDERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196125204227954864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-26397155273380036042009-02-09T20:13:00.000-08:002009-02-09T20:13:00.000-08:00Greta, you brought back some great memories of my ...Greta, you brought back some great memories of my days in the kitchen with Grandma. We never made Kolaches but, I agree, they are good. The little chocolate covered pecan balls were made every Christmas by one of the ladies in the family. I've never tried creating them. You've made me want to pull out a similar recipe I have and give them a try.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever find your Mom's recipe? I'll share mine with you, if not.Judith Richards Shuberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-58157520364615676502009-02-09T18:21:00.000-08:002009-02-09T18:21:00.000-08:00Greta, I loved reading about your cooking adventur...Greta, I loved reading about your cooking adventures. I had to laugh because my husband loves breaded tomatoes and would even trade for that in the high school cafeteria! Weird! And his mom put sugar in everything. I've eaten kolaches and agree--they are divine! Your creamed tuna on bread was my creamed chipped beef on toast. Sure enjoyed your post.
