Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING
Which reminds me: Mama always made some mighty fine buttermilk biscuits. One afternoon a few months before she died at 99 years and 3 months in April of '96, I visited her for a couple of hours. During that time, I asked her to tell me the details, step-by-step, how she made biscuits. She replied, Well, you get your breadboard (a scooped-out, elongated, wooden bowl that Daddy made for her soon after they married in 1915), and you put some flour in it and push the flour out from the center to make a low place where you start pouring the buttermilk and start mixing. You pour some buttermilk (use water if you don't have buttermilk, but it's a lot better with buttermilk) in the low place in the middle of the flour. Then start mixing the buttermilk and the flour with your fingers. As you get a little bit mixed, swirl it around a little bit and pull in a little more flour. Soon after you get the mixing going, reach into the lard pail and get a pinch of lard and add it to the mixture. This was the point I was waiting for and interjected, with laughter, A pinch, Hell, Mama, it was a hand full! Then she jumped me, Where did you learn to cuss like that? You didn't learn to talk like that around here! I retorted, again, with laughter, Well, I'll be damned, Mama, all I said was 'Hell.' She continued, Well, there's no need to cuss like that. I continued, Yes, I know, Mama, I was just testing you - wondering if you were still as feisty about that as always. I was just kidding. But I think you'll have to agree that the lard in the biscuits was a little more than a pinch. She agreed, Yes, that and the buttermilk are what made 'em so good. We had a good laugh and hugged enthusiastically. - Original Message - From: Curly McLain via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com; Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Another non-political B-52 tale - SAC ALERT DINING Which reminds me of 2 things. #1.

ATTABOY +1 for Randy's comment. Obviously evidence of your training and fitness to command. SAC ALERT DINING - BATTLE OF THE FRENCH FRIES By Wilton Strickland The usual dining fare at Strategic Air Command (SAC) alert facilities was most often very good, possibly too good. The dining room was set up as a small cafeteria, with a short list of choices on the serving line: for example, for breakfast; cereal, scrambled eggs, grits, sausage, bacon, ham; for lunch and/or dinner, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, baked potatoes, French fries, carrots, beans, corn, etc. One day in 1974 at Kincheloe AFB, MI, because I had not had breakfast, I was first in line for lunch.

I reminded him that I had asked for a steak and, I'm going to get some French fries with it. He insisted, The French fries go with the hamburger/cheeseburger; the baked potato goes with the steak. Now, I began to lose my patience, I'm a highly-trained professional whom Congress has entrusted with some of the nation's topmost secrets.

Oh! I forgot about pie dough. We actually tried to make a better dough with lard, and ended up using butter flavor crisco. BUT (a big one) the lard we used was store plasticized lard. It is not much different than the vein pluggin crisco. I suspect if I were to repeat the trials with real home rendered lard (that will spoil) the results would be different. The store lard is hydrogenated the same as crisco so it won't spoil. Anything that does not spoil is not really food, and is not good for you. Margarine, shortening, store lard, McD hamburger etc. Vivan was going on about lard a coupla shows ago.
