This blog is for future generations to look at and try to understand a way of life that has disappeared in one generation. A life of simplicty and a life of adventure that only
can come from living with nature.

Aunt Pearl potatoes

Sometimes when we are in a hurry , and sometimes we are not when fixing supper. we will fix Aunt Pearl potatoes. Uncle Ken and I came in one evening after a long day of rabbit hunting. He walked into the kitchen and was preparing to cook supper. He said Beach I think we will just have Aunt Pearl potatoes with supper as I am little tired tonight. O.K. with me Uncle Ken as I like Aunt Pearl potato's. I then asked him why do we call them Aunt Pearl potato's? He said that he had ask his mom that same question one night. Grandma told him that Aunt Pearl had 9 kids.
Do you know how long it would take to peel and slice potato's for that many people? She had no choice but to fix them that way. By now you are asking what are Aunt Pearl potatoes? Here is how you prepare Aunt Pearl potatoes as you will never see on a cooking show.

2. put in pot and cover with water and bring to a boil, when potato soft enough to cut with fork they are done, do not over cook or you will have to make mashed potatoes.
3. Each person gets his potato's from the pot and they can season with salt, pepper and butter { real butter} as they please.
