three wise kings
My mother sent me something for Christmas.
The tag said to not open it until the 25th. Naturally, I opened it right away. She gave me:
An awesome silicone steamer. (Very healthy.)
An Exercise Ball workout DVD. (Again, very healthy.)
And then she gave me the "White Trash Cooking" cookbook. It's like she fell off the healthy wagon. Flipping through this cookbook- there are numerous recipes that call for an ingredient call 'Oleo'. I'm scared to Google it because I think it's either left over grease from chitin's or some sort of store brand Crisco.
Speaking of chitin's, here are some of the recipes that really stand out:
pg 46- fried or boiled rabbit or squirrel (I am not kidding)
pg 45- Mama Leila's Hand-Me-Down Oven Baked Possum
pg 24- Mary Beth Boney's Collard Greens
pg 57- Cooter Pie (The Hunter's Delight)
pg 94- Russian Communist Tea Cakes
I'll have to post a few of those in all their glory for all you out there to enjoy.
Thanks Mom. I actually do kind of like the cookbook and heaven forbid I try one of the recipes, I'll let you know.

You know, I read this entry, and I just had to look deeper down the rabbit hole.
Page 25 intrigues me, offering recipes for "Oleta Brown's Turnip Greens," "Mustard Greens," "Tanya," and "Crepes a la Creola Le Beau."
Tanya?
I reckon there's more to it than that... right? Do tell...
Oleo - It's a butter alternative that was popular a few years back, before we decided that trans-fats were really nasty.
