Creamy
Pecan Pralines...made with fresh pecans, cream, sugar
and Mama's Secret for that rich Creamy taste. They are Addictive!!!!! They
Simply Melt In Your Mouth!!!!!
I remember when we were kids our mother would
give us 5 cents for lunch money everyday. We often carried
our lunch or ate free in the cafeteria. The 5 cents was
given to us to purchase milk ( 3 cents) and 2 cents was
for us to do anything we wanted to with it.
During those times every childhood treat
sold in the neighborhood stores were 2 for a penny. You
had 2 for a penny cookies, 2 for a penny candy and getting
2 peppermint pillows for a penny was a steal! But
we craved Mr. Joe's Pecan Pralines and
they were 5 cents. So what we would do on the way to school
is pass by Mr. Joe's Neighborhood Store which did not open
until 8:30am but Mr. Joe's house was right across the
street from his store. His porch had a swing on it and
we would sit on his porch swinging and singing..."Oh
Mr. Joe O, Come and Open up Yo Store O." Mr.
Joe would get up out of his bed, barely putting his arm
in his sweater as he raced to his store so we could purchase
the Pralines and get on to school. Sometimes he would have
them at his house and sell it to us there. What memories
of this delicious treat and taste of such an old New Orleans
Delicacy.
I
loved the taste of Pecan Pralines so much that
I sought out to learn how to make this treat from Mama.
We never used measuring spoons, cups or themometers; we
just knew when the time was right to stop cooking to get
that
authentic praline taste.
The Taste Is Addictive!
My Mama "Mary Lillie Spencer," was a very hardworking woman.
She was an excellent chef cook and I was always by her side
preparing
those delicious
meals
for a family of 10. Although there were seven girls in the
family, I was the only one that really took an interest in
cooking and baking.
My Mama would talk to me while we cooked
and she told me that I could do and succeed at anything
I set my mind to. She said that I was a beautiful miraculous woman...beauty
in my talk, beauty within my walk and beauty in the way
I treated others."
