Saltmarsh,

Did your mama ever make lye soap with that bacon grease like mine did? Some times she wouldn't have enough bacon grease saved up for a batch of soap, so she would buy a large can of lard to add to it. Did she ever add laundry "blueing" to the chickens water dish when they seemed " a little off their feed"? Since Dar outed me as a part time southern boy, I'm looking for someone to out. Kinda like a game of "tag, your it".

Those Blackeyed peas I bought for yesterdays good luck tradition were so good, I dug the can out of the trash to see if the seasonings were included on the label. They were the "Bushes" brand of peas with bacon, It didn't list the spices, but it did have a recipe called "Jumping John" over rice. Anyone ever heard of that? Sounds southern, but I've never heard of it.
