You fry bacon and all kinds of meats and then soak it with beans. I'll have to talk him into making it.

There was no salt in these. Even salted greens in the can are okay. Just don't get the ones that say "Southern Seasoning." Too salty and yucky other fake seasonings. Food Club, I think, is what I bought. I just read the label. This had no salt, just greens and water. <br /><br />Maybe you can find them. If they don't have turnip greens, try canned kale or mustard greens, even mixed greens. There is not so much difference. <br /><br />Try the frozen section.

It all pretty much tastes the same to me.<br /><br />I grew up using cracker crumbs, but decided to use oats for the better nutrition. Besides, I would have to go to a gas station and buy the tiny packages. If I have a box of crackers it's crackersandcheese, chackerandpb, crackersandsardines, crackerswithcoke time in this house. I overeat them and I don't need the sodium and carbs and fat. Actually, these are best with crackers. <br /><br />Yes, our memories are often so close. <br /><br />Your mother may have told you it was mackerel so you would eat it.<br /><br />I think 'patties' and 'croquettes' are the same thing...lol.

For some reason I thought maybe she used mackerel in a can but I could be wrong because i don't normally like salmon, but I loved those patties. I think maybe she used cracker crumbs too? Wow, this just brought lots of memories. <br /><br />Isn't it wonderful how much food connects us all?<br /><br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-49071698532235847892014-12-30T22:54:04.684-06:002014-12-30T22:54:04.684-06:00Except for the BEPs I am hungry now.....never did ...Except for the BEPs I am hungry now.....never did like BEPs. lolzslugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-90789296142816117932014-12-30T22:12:16.055-06:002014-12-30T22:12:16.055-06:00This looks like a Southern dinner.
