52 Ancestors – WEEK 49 – Handed Down
By Cynthia Keefer Patton
On of my favorite things to "hand down" are recipes. With each recipe comes a flood of memories. Who made it, where we ate it, what the house smelled like while it was cooking. My late husband Shephard H. Patton, Sr. loved to cook. He cooked Southern and Cajun specialties because he was born and raised in Southern Mississippi.
While going through some boxes (yes 14 years since he passed away) I came across a notebook with some handwritten recipes. He wrote like this, mostly block letters. Not ever cursive. He loved this dish and we had it on a lot of Mondays. That is a New Orleans thing. Wash day. IFKYK.
I miss him a lot. He was a great man. Make these and I promise you won't regret it. PS You can use any type of sausage, even turkey sausage.
