Notes for Carrie Mae Allen: Well, what can I say about Granny? She was a worker. She was always working inside the house, mostly cooking up enough food for a tribe. It usually was a tribe that ended up coming to see her. When all of the family got together, she insisted on doing all the cooking herself. I can remember as a child, she would make the best sorghum syrup cakes, and peanut butter fudge. She also could make the best potato salad that I can say I ever tasted. I have tried to copy her recipe but something is always missing. Guess now I will never know.
I remember when we all lived down in Houston and she would ride up to Jewett with us. She would get up early in the morning and start cooking. She would make homemade buttermilk biscuits and stuff them full of scrambled eggs with either bacon or sausage. We wouldn't even get out of Houston good and daddy would holler back to granny asking for one of those biscuits. They were delicious.
She thrived on her family. She had to hear from some of her family at least daily. If she didn't she would start worrying and she would call herself. She was a big woman, with a big heart. Always ready to help anyone. People always knew they could go to grannies and get a wonderful meal. I miss her dearly.
