We got something better than Poke Salet down here in Mississippi. It's
called Kudzu. It's a vine that grows as much as 100 feet a year. I lines
every highway from Memphis to Biloxi. And I just found out it's edible.
The Japanese use the powder made from the roots as an ingredient of Tofu.
If you're not from the Deep South and have never seen this plant to

I used to eat Bull Nettle nuts all the time. I don't know if eating the
nuts is the reason or not, but I was immune to the sting of the Bull
Nettles. While loading watermelons, I used to bet with the other guys that
I would strip the leaves of the bull nettle vines with my hands. Of course

Although I was born in Clarksville, my widowed mother moved the family to
the Lairds Hill area south of Kilgore in the early 1930s. After she died in
1938, I was taken in and raised by an older half sister and her husband in
Bay City, Texas.
I still have several nieces and nephews in RR and Bowie Ctys, all
decedents of another half sister, Edith Goodwin.
I am researching both the paternal and maternal side of my family. Both
were in RR County in the early 1900's. By the early 1930s it appears

I have been there myself. I never knew either of my great grandparents. They
all passed before I was born. My grandfather lived in Jacksonville, Texas and
I lived in Cedar Hill, Texas. I kept telling my parents that I needed to go
and talk with him. He knew everything about his family. I kept putting it off
and then the dredded call came. He was gone along with all that valuable
info. So now I don't wait. I make that trip because they can be here today
and gone tomorrow.

Melba,
Sorry I have no "real" info on the Dean families, only remember some
from Avery. The phone book list E. Dean of Avery which reminds me of the
tall slinder Elem (Ee'-lem) Dean. He was about my age a a little older.
His son was a good little pitcher for the little league team I coached but
his name just will not click in.
I see several Dean names listed in Avery plus others in Annona, Bogata and
Clarksville.. Then others in Paris etc. I keep seeing the "Dean

According to sites on the internet, the leaves of the stinging nettles,
or bull nettles ("urtica"), are edible. They need to be cooked down,
which removes the formic acid that causes the stinging on the skin.
They are high in Vitamin C and supposed to have other beneficial
qualities.
As an aside, a couple of the notes on the internet indicate that many
poisonous or irritating plants, such as poison ivy and stinging nettles
often grow in the vicinity of other plants which can be used to remove
the sting or
Good Morning Jim
Thanks for posting my mother-in-laws' obit on the list. A special thanks for all the thoughts and prayers to those who corresponded with me directly.
I also have to throw in my "2 cents worth" about Poke Sallet. Love it! Can't get it here in Plano though.
I always washed mine in my mini-basket on my washing machine to get the grit out. Par-boil it one time and use fresh water. Use salt pork, little bit of tabasco, salt and pepper. Yum, Yum. I like the idea of "frying it down". Sin
Jim, I can remember visiting two of my aunts back in the 40's, in Longview
and getting a bath in a big metal tub. She would heat the water on the
stove. She also had the card for the ice to be delivered. She would set the
card in the window with the number of pounds of ice she wanted the man to
bring in for her ice box. I think it was like 25, 50 I guess 75,100 . I'm not
sure. If you were to put an X on a square pc of cardboard, each area would
have the number in it. This way the iceman could see fr

menudo is a soup made from Pork and Hominy, there are different variations my
dad makes it with red chile, we like it the best. I have never made it so
don't know the recipe. It is a New Year's Tradition in the Southwest. If you

people use Tripe to fix it, Dad always uses a pork roast. Hope this is some
