Things I Have Learned From Living In Kentucky (Louisville, California: work, dating)

[kygman]

Burgoo is good with deer meat in it too! Felt like I was around Granny Clampett when some of the older men I used to work with talked about putting possum in their burgoo.
If they do that I think I'll stick with one of your chili dogs! lol

[quote=Davart;3125356]I guess I have good genes, I live on a diet of grease fried food and bacon fat and this winter my cholesterol was checked and it was 140 ... not bad for an old guy.QUOTE]


It runs in our family so I have to be careful.... but I'm not TOO careful...

My grandmother cooked with lard and lived to 96 so I think it is just genetics. I still use bacon grease in some things very limited, but if I eat anything with lard...fried chicken, biscuits I get sick as can be. I only use real butter and not margarine and my cholestral so far is low. My husband's is high and his mother's was so I really think it is genetic.

I am really careful about eating just anyone's burgoo. Road kill is not for me...lol. I prefer brunswick stew actually, but I realize that is not Kentucky.

My grandpa is like that. That man can eat anything and not have to worry. However, it would be my luck I would inherit from Grandma.

I call my dad pop, and my mom her real name is soda. This has been a sodapop for me. WOW!

I have conventionally used "soda," but I'm switching to "Slurm." All beer shall be known as "Duff."
