Snap beans, purple hull peas and limas were one of the only reasons I loved/hated going to see my grandparents. loved to eat them, hated shellin' and snappin'.

Mamaw always made drop biscuits in the morning and cornbread for super and dinner. beans and peas for every meal. the only thing i wouldn't eat (voluntarily, because i still was made to eat it) that she grew or cooked was the okra.

2 pages and no Bill Brasky references?

Disappointed.

Oh, how I hate purple hull peas. Washtubs full of those fricking things were my personal hell during the summers growing up. My grandparents grew up in the Depression, so huge gardens were a must and I was conveniently available for indentured servitude during the summers when it was time to harvest.

They bought me off with jars of canned figs and fig cakes, though. I was cheap.

making 3 or 30, the time shouldn't be that much different.

basically just measuring, pouring, and mixing.

Snap beans, purple hulls, greens, squash, zucchini...loved it all. I’d love to have a big garden again some day
