Food For Thought:

I have this great memory when I was a child. My grandmother always had Freedent chewing gum or some type of hard candy in her purse. When we would go somewhere she would get a piece of gum or candy from her purse and give it to me.

My mother almost always had CERTS in her purse. She would give me one every once in a while. She liked them a lot. I know I am not the only one who has experienced this. I am sure there were children across the country who had similar experiences. These particular CERTS are not available for purchase today. They were discontinued because of the ingredients.

I have carried on the tradition of always having chewing gum. I like Wrigley's ORBIT Peppermint chewing gum. There is an interesting story behind how Wrigley started and built his chewing gum empire.

The Intriguing History of Jezebel Sauce

The exact origins of Jezebel sauce are shrouded in mystery. While the sauce itself is undeniably delicious, its namesake is less so. Jezebel, a biblical figure, was known for her wickedness. It's believed that the sauce's bold, spicy flavor profile is what inspired the provocative name.

Despite its intriguing name, Jezebel sauce is believed to have emerged in the Southern United States, likely in the mid-20th century. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors, typical of Southern cuisine, is a hallmark of the sauce.

It's important to note that while the sauce has gained popularity across the country, its heart remains firmly rooted in Southern culinary traditions.

Giant moth!

Ok, I know this is a recipe blog and maybe giant moths have nothing to do with recipes or cooking. I want to share my day with you and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to let you see this picture. I currently work a full-time job outside of my recipe blog. A friend at work told me they found a giant moth and she snapped a picture. I asked her to send me the picture so I could show my teenage daughter. This moth is amazing! I have no idea what kind of moth it is but it is the largest I have seen. Do you know what kind this is?

Keep on cooking!

Southern Chocolate Gravy Recipe - (Sauces)

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons cocoa (heaping)
4 cups sugar
1 can pet evaporated milk (12 ounces)
1/2 stick of butter

Directions:

Use a large skillet if you have one. Mix sugar and cocoa together and gradually add pet milk. Stir and mix all together. Place on medium to high heat and stir as the mixture begins to get hot. As you see the mixture beginning to bubble start gradually turning heat back to medium. Continue to boil and stir as you gradually reduce the heat to medium. You want continuous bubbles but do not cook fast. Turn to low add 1/2 stick of butter and stir. The gravy is thin and does not have to be really thick.

Thoughts On Chocolate Gravy:

The whole process does not take more than 10-12 minutes to cook. Pour over hot biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. Serve with scrambled eggs and breakfast meat. This recipe does not have four so it will seem less grainy in texture. I prefer chocolate gravy like this but you can try other recipes with flour to see what you like.

My Thoughts For The Day:

Just to spark your imagination.

I remember being in my pre-teens and getting to visit my great-grandmother on my dad's side of the family. She lived in Oklahoma. It was a small country farmhouse and I would say around three bedrooms from my memory. The picture above is not a picture of the farmhouse. I wanted to share with you the "feeling" that a childhood experience in Oklahoma might be like.

One of my fondest memories was waking up early in the morning to my great-grandmother cooking breakfast. I could smell the scent of bacon in the air. She always had her hair pulled back into a tight little bun. She wore wire-rim glasses and a dress with an apron while she cooked. There was an old metal ladle hanging at the kitchen sink to get a drink of water from the sink.

Eggs, bacon, biscuits, white gravy, and of course she would make chocolate gravy. I always loved the chocolate gravy. Unfortunately, I do not have her recipe but this one is very close. I would love to know your thoughts on chocolate gravy. 

Keep on cooking!
