Country Recipes and Other Interesting Stuff or Chefs Salad

Country Recipes and Other Interesting Stuff

Author: Bob Holt

A book of Country Recipes chocked full of humorous stories make for many relaxed and fun-filled hours of reading.

When the Lord made pork chops, he said that they would be, bar none, Bob Holt's most favorite meat forever. Being brought up in the Presbyterian Church, and instilled with a belief in "predestination," I believe it was foreordained that pork chops would be it for me.

From the beginning, back in the years of World War II, pork was the main staple during my first year of life on the family farm. You're right, I don't remember it, but it must have been imprinted on my hard drive.

After Momma introduced me to pork fat (hog lard), Justin Wilson brought wine into my life, and I've been on a roll ever since.
