It's November - Yippee!!
November! Yippee!! This is my favorite month of the year. Daddy loved November. It was almost the end of our peanut harvest and time for sitting back to enjoy Momma’s good cookin�. As Daddy was starting to wind down in the field, Momma was winding up in the kitchen. Peanut Brittle was being made by the gallon-fulls, along with chocolate pies, pumpkin pies, pecan pies, orange slice cake, fruitcake, teacakes, divinity, fudge, cranberry scones and more! Momma was a magician in the kitchen.
I loved watching her at work. It was perfection and the results were so delicious. I have been making more of her recipes lately, hoping to ease the homesick feeling that comes with this time of year. It helps.
Do you have something you do to help soothe your soul during the hard holiday times?
I remember Daddy and Momma always starting the collection of canned goods at the church in November, so that on the Sunday before Thanksgiving they could deliver the food to a needy family in our area.
Daddy would always go buy a ham or turkey that weekend to put with all the canned goods and go to take the food in boxes and sacks. Momma always added her homemade treats - a gallon bag of peanut brittle, a pie, cakes, and cookies. Everything!
On our drive back home, Daddy would be a little sad. I always asked him why he was sad when we just did something so good. He would reply, “I wish they had that food all the time.�
This holiday season, what are you doing to help others? The first three responses to this question will get a special “surprise� gift from me.
It’s a hard season for so many people, but if you have anything to spare to help someone else - do it! You will feel better and they will benefit from your goodness. We need to be thankful for all that God allows us to have, and in being thankful - we can spread that blessing to others.
Love,
Theo
