Sounds as if our grandmothers were sisters of the hearth. I can't help but think that a big portion of that heavenly taste must have been the lard, the rich-with-cream milk, and the wood stove. And the love, of course.

I always tried to get her to quantify the recipe for me but she had made biscuits for so long by touch that she would never even think of measuring anything. Unfortunately, I never mastered the nack of her biscuits and have been searching ever since for a recipe that approximated hers that had milk straight from the cow, lard, Martha White flour, leavening, & salt to the best of my recollection. She would stir them up, pat them out and then cut them out with a Bama jelly jar. They baked up perfectly in the old woodstove that she had before she got her gas stove. They were perfect every time. What I wouldn't give for one of them today! Your description of learning to cook from your grandmother brought to mind watching my grandmother make biscuits from scratch.
