Great-Aunties

Meet my 3 favorite great -aunts! Ada, Esther & Emma. They are my grandpa Sam's sisters.

Ada & Emma live in a condo together in Berlin, Ohio and Esther lives in Sarasota, Florida.

They are so sweet. Hope I can be like them someday. :)

Frogmore Stew supper

I had been wanting to have a Frogmore Stew supper for a while already,

so when I mentioned it to my Mom, she agreed to help me have one for the Miller family.

Mervin & Betty agreed to host the shindig at their place.

I was the one in charge of all the food preparations.

Usually you make this in a turkey cooker or a large stock pot, but I wanted to

make it outside in a big iron kettle. The ingredients were:

potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob, mushrooms, sausage, chicken , & shrimp

all mixed together with a broth of ketchup, vinegar, oil, water and crab seasonings...

YUM!
