Take some pics or video over the upcoming years and jot down the recipes (even better get the kids to write out some of them) and save them, then make a book for them with the pictures and recipes to give them someday when they move out or when they have their first child :) That would be so cool!asavoryspoonful@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286094437306245503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151963919673353359.post-17618930141644132722013-06-25T20:18:23.408-04:002013-06-25T20:18:23.408-04:00My heritage is British Isles (according the Ancest...My heritage is British Isles (according the Ancestry DNA test) and as a whole this is not a particularly exciting food culture. Fish and chips and the obligatory Sunday roast. I love these foods but envy my friends who have names ending in a vowel. There's always some mysterious pastry or sauce in those families.<br /><br />The more interesting part of my family heritage is our Kentucky roots. My first ancestors to arrive here came about 1782, a few years before Kentucky became a state. My husband's family came not long after which makes us ninth and eighth generation Kentuckians.<br /><br />We are a people deadly serious about our Derby menus so I will share mine. Thou shalt have:<br /><br />Burgoo (much better than it sounds)<br />Benedictine Spread<br />Hot Browns (I make an appetizer version.)<br />Ham Biscuits (tiny, delicate things - I served them at my wedding)<br />Derby Pie (chocolate, bourbon, pecans)<br />Mint Juleps (must be served in a silver julep cup with a short straw so you inhale the mint) <br /><br />A lovely day which is briefly punctuated with a two minute race. All this, of course, is merely a compliment to the largest and most gorgeous hat you can find.

Every year around the holidays, my grandmother would come over and she and my mom and sister and I would spend the day making cookies and dinner rolls and banana bread and more cookies. It was big and exhausting and so much fun. We can't do that anymore (Mom is gone and Grandma lives far away) but I'm trying to start the tradition with my own children.<br /><br />Another one of my favorite memories is how Dad always made breakfast on Christmas morning. Bacon, eggs, mush, fruit salad...so much fun.wildirishrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636163547133204592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151963919673353359.post-68916902462305265472013-06-25T19:03:41.175-04:002013-06-25T19:03:41.175-04:00What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing!What a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing!asavoryspoonful@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286094437306245503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151963919673353359.post-75783464695810743902013-06-25T18:48:10.620-04:002013-06-25T18:48:10.620-04:00Cathy,

I'm sure today, their is fabric paint to make this easier. I so thought that this was and is special.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471530760198222089noreply@blogger.com
