Well mine is my Nanny's vegetable soup with homemade sour dough bread and homemade butter she made just for the bread. In a way I guess the company was just as much a part of that meal. Sitting down with Nanny and pappa. But that soup was one of a kind. Every ingredient grown from their own garden. Every year they would set out as a team and plow their own ground with their big hats and totally covered in clothes and coveralls to keep the sun off like old timers knew best. The home grown tomatoes, green beans, carrots, cabbage, onions, and peas. With fresh beef straight from the farm. Ground and chuck in it and just the right seasoning that I can never recreate like nanny. Then there's the sourdough bread that she made better then anyone on this planet I swear. I've had sourdough in more places than I can count but not ever came close to Nanny's. If any of you make homemade bread then you know how hard it is. You have to keep this starter I think it's called going all the time that has live yeast that's always working and doing whatever yeast does. So seems like you never went over there when she was messing with that starter. She had this butter that was simple churned from like half and half or something like that that came in a carton and she had a little churner you would just turn the wheel we all played with it and made that butter as kids but you never went over there without having Nanny's vegetable soup and bread. You couldn't come over and not eat she wouldn't allow it. Seems like people just don't eat that way anymore every ingredient straight from the farm and always at the table with no distractions except the food and the conversation. Sure do miss em and sure do miss that bread and soup thanks for the post win loose or draw brought back some awesome memories.
