BLACK FRIDAY CRAZIES

Are you glad Black Friday is over. I am. With all the running did you really find anything worth all that trouble. Just maybe a few things. lol.
We went to Walmart and done the sales there and one of my daughter's friends about got tramped to death. She was one of the first in line at the Wii games that was on sale. They started crowding around and pushing and she was going down. Another friend that was there was being done the same way and started screaming and one of the employs must have heard and made the people back off so they could get back. Is it worth getting killed for. So do not be the first in line at any of these sales as people will crowd in and you may go down. I am so glad she was not hurt. Most of the stuff can be ordered online and you do not have to worry about getting hurt.
It is just not Walmart that this happens at but all the rest of the stores. I think there should be some different way to display the games for people as that is what everyone wants the most. Or they should have more games out so everyone has a chance to get some with a limit to how many can be bought. Just remember to not be one of the first people trying to grab stuff at these sales because you sure may get hurt or killed.

ABOUT WALLINS CHURCH RECIPES

My dad who was a minister who helped build the Wallins Creek, Ky. church back around 1950. He preached there for many years. These people are some of the most kind and friendly people you will ever find. I went there as a child most of my life. They have published a cookbook and for all of those that did not get to buy one, I am going to put some of the recipes on my blog.
I did ask Sandy H. if I could do this and she told me to go ahead. There are so many good recipes and new ones I have never made. I hope everyone that looks at this blog will go to their recipes. They are some of the best cooks going.
 It will take time to type them up so I will add them when I can.
 Always go to the left side where the title Wallin's Church recipes are. You will may just find 2 or 3 when you open up this blog but all of them will be listed on the left. I am doing this in memory of my dad who was a minister for around 65 years.
 He was one of those preachers who loved that good ole fried chicken on Sunday with biscuits and gravy. A lot of times we would have dinner for our friends and I was so glad people would come eat with us as I was a only child and never had anyone to play with. Everyone that came to our home was always treated just like a memer of the family. Both my dad and mom have gone on to a resting place. My dad was around 85 when he died and my mom was 98. RIP.........

ME AND MY PICKLES

Everyone that knows me knows how I love those good ole dill pickles. I don't know which one loves them the most me or my sister-in-law. Of course we have to have that salt shake sitting close by for them. Every Christmas it is our thing to get one of the big jar of pickles from Sam's for her. Now they have come up with a new thing in our area. Deep fried pickles. Right down my alley. After hearing about them I had to go try a order from a small restaurant called Conley's. Boy were they good. But you had better let them cool down before eating or you will sure have a burnt mouth. I have always got them down in Nashville from a restaurant called Toot's. Now ranch dressing is good for dipping them in but bbq sauce. Well I will try anything once. It is good with them. lol. So if you love pickles make sure and try you a order in your area. Some of them taste greasy if you let them get to cold tho. I am going to make me some myself. I think I will use panko bread crumbs to roll them in or some shake and bake and just deep fry them but don't let them get to brown. Another way is to use ky. kernel seasoned flour for them.
If you love pickles one batch sure won't be enough. lol. Try some.

CHASING THE PIG

It was a very hot summer day and like all animals on a hot day they love to try to find a cool shady spot. Now my father-in-law had a pig who was more of a pet then a dog is. Some way or other this pig got out of the pen it was in and wanted to find a cool spot to lay. Now it being a pig you can not get it to mind that good. So my father-in-law thought he would just call to it and get it to come back to him. Now that pig had a mind of its own. No matter what he said to it he just could not get it to come get back in it's pen. So the chase began. Around and around the pen up and down the road and in the yard. You name it and that pig was going for it.
 So it decided to go up the main road from where he lived. You have to go up a hill to get to the main road. Away it went and away my father-in-law went after it.
 Now this pig was not that big so some way or other caught it. Here he came carrying it back. THIS time it was put back in its pen. He was give out from chasing the pig. He hurt his back some way and had to go to the doctor. So my mother-in-law went with him. The doctor went out of the room and she got his paper and was looking at the report. The doctor had wrote down."Cause of pain", chasing a pig. What part hurting, "Back" from carrying the pig. Bed rest for one week until back eases up. No more lifting or chasing pigs.
 My father-in-laws back was put together with screws and wire where he had been hurt and had to be operated on. As he never weighted no more that 120 lbs. I don't see how he could lift that pig. I think he had enough of a pig for a pet and got rid of it. His back hurt him for a long time after that.
I think the next animal he got for a pet was a monkey named Herman.  Herman was one of the meanest things I have ever seen. Read the story on Herman. lol.
