TEA CAKES & YEAST ROLLS

****
A BIG GROUP DISCUSSION BROKE OUT IN THE CHEMO ROOM LAST WEEK . THERE IS USUALLY NOT MUCH TALKING MUCH LESS  AN ACROSS THE ROOM GROUP DISCUSSION.

 A GROUP OF OLDER MEN TALKING ABOUT THE WONDERFUL THINGS TO EAT MADE BY THEIR GRANDMOTHERS . THERE WAS A LOT OF UNITY ACROSS RACIAL & ECONOMIC LINES . A LOT OF SHARING .

I DIDN'T TAKE A BACK SEAT TO ANYONE NOT WITH MY MAM-MAW. SHE LIVED RIGHT ACROSS THE GRAVEL ROAD,MICKEY MANTLE COULD HIT A BALL FROM OUR HOUSE TO HERS . I ATE ONE TO TWO MEALS A DAY WITH MAM-MAW. 

SHE HAD TWO CLAIMS  TO FAME : YEAST ROLLS & TEA CAKES WITH CHOCOLATE.  BOTH WERE WORLD CLASS TREATS IN MY BOOK .

MAM-MAW MADE THE ROLLS IN A BIG IRON SKILLET . I COULD EAT A SKILLET FULL BY MYSELF & SO COULD MY DAD . SO MAM -MAW ALWAYS FIRED UP AT LEAST THREE SKILLETS.

THE TEA CAKES WERE JUST A SIMPLE SUGAR COOKIE . WHAT MADE THEM SPECIAL WAS THE SWEET MILK CHOCOLATE MAM -MAW PUT A THICK LAYER BETWEEN TWO TEA CAKES .

I HAVE NEVER FOUND A PRODUCT TO EQUAL THE TEA CAKES . I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE EVEN MAKES THEM . WHEN I TRAVELED FOR BOXING ,MAM-MAW WOULD MAKE ME A GROCERY SACK FULL OF TEA CAKES FOR THE TRIP .

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET A YEAST ROLL IN THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA . YOU COULD ONCE AT BUNTYN'S BUT THEY ARE LONG GONE NOW . IF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A GOOD YEAST ROLL ,GIVE ME A HOLLER

*****

 THANK THE LORD THE LAW & ORDER BOYS CAUGHT UP WITH TWO KILLERS IN THE AREA . ADAM MAYES KILLED HALF THE BAIN FAMILY & FOREVER DAMAGED THE OTHER HALF . I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR WHY .

 MAYES HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE HE KILLED , THE ROADSIDE KILLER DID NOT . THIS SICK PUPPY JUST DROVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE & KILLED FOLKS AT RANDOM.

MOST TIMES I AM OPPOSED TO THE DEATH PENALTY  BUT I WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THESE BOZOS .  OL ADAM SAVED THE STATE THE TROUBLE BY KILLING HIMSELF WHEN CAUGHT . 

THE ROADSIDE KILLER HAS YET TO GO TO TRIAL BUT IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY I HOPE HE GOES TO THE DEATH HOUSE AT PARCHMAN .
