Just put two turkey beast filets in the refrigerator marinating in Italian dressing, cause it's quick, cheap, and generally flavorful.

From scratch using a recipe that I have used for years from Quick Thrifty Cooking

Matzos, with butter

Baked ham and asparagus

In the 50's in central Mississippi, we didn't go to the grocery store to purchase our chickens, they came from some part of the household yard.
The first time I ever had to "bring in" the chicken for frying that evening, I had to catch it, take it, while it flailed to run away, to the chopping block, hold it steady, which was nearly impossible, then deliver the fatal blow, with the ax that was imbedded in the tree stump. Terrified and facinated at the same time, I sat on the ground by the stump, for what seemed an eternity, while the headless chicken reflexively ran all over the yard. Can still see it.

My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

My dad loves cabbage rolls. His grandmother used to make them, and the recipe came from the "Old Country".
