1. Happy birthday Trof

I just turned 59 and keep asking myself the same question. Saw a quote not long ago; let me see if I can find it, and put it here (pretty damn similar to your question actually).

Found it:"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering: what the fuck happened?"

[trof]

5. Yeah, WTF?

:wtf:

2. Happy Birthday, trof!

Coming up right behind you. I'll be 52 on Thursday and I'm wondering the same thing. :crazy:

Gonna do something special? Going out to dinner or Mrs. trof fixing a special dinner?

:hi:

6. Miz t. making my favorite. Fried chicken. Bone in, skin on!

Mashed taters, asparagus with Hollandaise.
Sister Schubert's mouth watering yeast rolls.
Double chocolate birthday cake with chocolate ice cream.
Oh yeah.

About Sister Schubert's:

My grandmother Leona Henderson Wood (we called her Gommey) taught me to bake her wonderful Parker House style rolls as a young girl. The first time I made them was for family and friends at Thanksgiving. I was nervous because the technique of making yeast rolls was new to me. But the rolls came out of the oven golden and light with an aroma that called everyone to the table.

Gommey has been an inspiration throughout my life — as the most wonderful grandmother you could imagine, a superlative cook and a savvy businesswoman. When my father went off to serve in the Army Air Corps during World War II, Gommey and her sisters kept the family furniture business alive. Even after he returned safely, Gommey kept an active hand in the business. She was often there when I worked at the store after school and on weekends and gave me my first lessons in customer service.

Cooking and baking remained my greatest passions, and I was never happier than when preparing food for family and friends. By 1989, I was running a little bitty catering business that I called The Sliver Spoon. Everyone raved about the Parker House style rolls that I baked using the old family recipe inherited from Gommey, who called them "Everlasting Rolls."

That year a friend asked me to donate a few pans of rolls to our church's holiday frozen food fair. I sold 20 pans, and they put the rolls on the order form for the following year's sale. I had to cut off orders at 200 pans that year, and at 300 pans in 1991.

I sat down after that third holiday fair and said to myself," If the people in Troy like my rolls, maybe other folks will too — and not just at the holidays." And Sister Schubert's Homemade Rolls was born.

8. Great choice for dinner.

Fried chicken is a fav around here, too. Bone-in, skin on...absolutely! :D

I've seen those rolls in the freezer section at the store but haven't ever bought them. I do most cooking and baking here from scratch.

Enjoy your dinner! :hi:

3. I once asked my 87 year old grandmother....

"When do you finally feel like you're an adult, and fully 'grown-up'?"

She replied, "When I get there, I'll let you know."
