I grew up in the south, Alabama and Florida. My parents, now long gone, made a clam dip for their parties that I have never been able to reproduce. I know that cottage cheese and canned clams were involved. I’ve tried many versions found by googling and none of them have been right. I loved...

May 11, 2010 - BBQ Rub

I went to Illinois last year and was turned onto this BBQ rub that the local IGA (? store name) made in their department – and it tasted exactly like BBQ chip seasoning, very sweet, not too spicy, you could lick your fingers after handling the rub and swear you just ate BBQ chips. Anyways,...

My mom made sour cream cookies back in the late 50s. The recipe was in a HUGE cookbook with a yellow cover. The cookies were cakey, and pale, with a thin brown rim around the edges. Yummy. The sour cream came in a glass 8 oz container that you could then use as a drinking...
