Note: Grandma always came up with great sauces or extres to make a meal more pleasing. She would put out a big spread of food — several kinds of vegetables from her garden, corn bread, hominy, black eyed peas, plum juice from her plum tree, chicken and dumplings or pot roast. For dessert she would have cookies, coconut or banana cake, and homemade candy.
