/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm a white girl who grew up in the deep southern states of America. Soul food is and was pure joy for me.
I had an old fat black grandma next door who would baby sit me after school until my mom got home and she's the one who got me interested in cooking. She'd have me help her prep things and shell peas and wash greens and taught me how to filet fish and separate chicken into parts. She was wonderful. She gave the best big warm squishy hugs and everything she made, she'd share with me so that one day I could make it for my own family. I miss her very much. She was one of those people in your life you never forget and love forever. Every person should be so lucky to have such a person in their life.
