COMPLIMENTS TO THE HAMITER FAMILY CHEF'S (past and present)

* Aunt Glenn * For absolutely the very best Pecan Pie and Chocolate Brownies. Chef Bobby Flay should have had a "Throw-Down" with her on her dessert preps. Bobby would have lost.

* My dear sister, Kay * Kay could cook about any meal, but her Shrimp entrees and oven cooked roasts (beef or pork) were out of this world!

* Aunt Hattie * For the best fresh peas and beans with salt pork and her pan fried "cold water" cornbread. If you haven't had her fried cornbread you are missing out! Also noted are her desserts of Blond Brownies and Chocolate Pies.

* Uncle R. E. * For his famous Barbecued Pork, on an open pit, with hands down the best sauce in the USA. Also for his Sugar Cane Syrup. Now Robert could have helped him, but I would think he would have had the late night shift of keeping the fire going.

* Aunt Alma * Our outdoor grilling Aunt. She knows more about grills than "Lowe's knows". She also makes wonderful desserts. But some of us eat to many desserts and if you spell "DESSERTS" backwards, you are "STRESSED". Among her desserts are: Banana Pudding and Coconut cake. Soothing, "get ya well", meals include Chicken & Dumplings. Her meals are no like Sandra Lee and her Simi-Homemade recipes. They are real meals from scratch.

* Uncle Clarence * I really think Aunt Alma taught him how to cook? But he makes the best Breakfast and fries the most delicious Pork Chops you have ever had.

* Aunt Arlene* For the very best Berry Cobblers, Cakes, and Coconut Pies. She is also noted for her "Debbie" beans.

* My mother, Gladys * What can you say about a person who had to prepare a minimum of twenty-four (24) meals a day. That's unless it wasn't the Sunday you had the Preacher and his family over for a meal. Mother made the best casseroles, especially her Chicken & Rice casseroles. She also cooked Pot Roasts, mouth watering Bean Soup, skillet Cream Corn, and Southern Fried Chicken.

* Aunt Nettie * I really never had a meal at her house that I can remember, but she would bring very good Pinto Beans and Fried Potatoes to the church for "Dinner-on-the Grounds". And as you know there is never anything left to take home...

* Aunt Bonnie * Now here is a lady that Paula Deen needs to take cooking lessons from. She prepares 5 Star Course Meals every day. And she can do all these meals by noon. At times, she uses her wood burning oven to get that aroma of real southern style cooking. It will really get those olfactory sense's going. Aunt Bonnie also makes great "Orange Peel" candy.
