[Babs]

the story of ethyl goes quite a ways back.

i have a sister that is 5 days short being a year younger than i.

we were put up for adoption when i was 1 1/2 and she was 6 months old.

on my oldest son's second birthday debbie and i met. that was in 1982.

will save the rest of that story for another time.

a few years later, our children were in 2nd and 3rd grades. she had two and i had two.

when my oldest was in 3rd grade all four of the kids wanted us all to do something fun for halloween. took awhile to think of something but somehow we became ethyl and myrtyl.

at first it was just something with my sister and i and the kids, but it seemed everywhere we went that day people fell in love with the two ladies from swamp hallow tennesee.

we started out at my fathers house, then went to the grocery store in the small town we lived in. our friend that was the grocery store manager loved our act so much he paid us to stay for a couple of hours and entertain his customers.

after that we drove through sonic to get us all something to drink. and caused quite a ruckus lol

this lady that was in car next to us came over and asked us if we had time to follow her to work. she worked at a nursing home and said she just knew the residents would love us to death.

so off we went to see the elders of the town. was a riot to say the least.

in the end the director of the nursing home offered us a job as activities directors, lol

things just grew from there. i was in a UPC church at the time, and we made several appearances to church activities, and even got to do part of a service. was my pastors birthday.

after that we appeared at bible schools, sunday schools, womens conferences and all kinds of stuff.

being that my sister was not pentecostal however did put a kink in things and after awhile ethyl and myrtyl had to part ways.

ethyl taught at several ladies conferences and meetings over the next few years. and made appearances at other churches as well.

the assembly of God churches loved her. lol

ethyl has been alive and kicking ever since. you never know when or where she will show up next.

so basically mz ethyl was born around 1988

Dear Mz Ethyl,

What's yore fav-o-rite recipe for possum?

[Babs]

Dear Mz Ethyl,

What's yore fav-o-rite recipe for possum?

Sweet Taters and Possum

First catch a young fat possum. Remove the fur either by skinning
or by soaking the possum in hot lye water, being careful not to
get any on the hands. Clean, take off the head and feet, and wash
well.

Salt the possum well inside and out and freeze overnight either
outdoors or in the refrigerator compartment.

When ready to cook, peel 8 sweet potatoes and boil them tender in
slightly salted water to which 2 tablespoons of butter and 1
tablespoon of sugar have been added. At the same time, stew the
possum tender in a tightly covered pan with a little water.

Arrange the potatoes around the possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle
with thyme or marjoram, or with pepper, and brown in the oven.
Baste often with the drippings.

Serve hot.


now that sum good eatin rite there!
