Quick and Easy ICE CREAM IN A BAG | Anyone Can Do It!! | Working From Ho...




Did you ever feel like you had to move to The South just to get a good recipe and a bite to eat.

Readers, I'm talking about buttermilk almond cupcakes with almond-vanilla or chocolate frosting with crushed walnuts on the top like my Gran used to make.

Talking about Pimento Cheese Spread on toast we used to have for lunch.

Now, I just start with the Southern cooking blogs and websites and go from there.

Southern Living Coconut Cake with Lemon Filling is a good place to begin.


Schulenburg, Texas to Orange, Ca to San Diego, just wondering if walnuts eventually replaced pecans.

And the Chex Mix from Flatonia every Christmas was to die for--seriously, I cannot duplicate that recipe.

Your thoughts...........

E. A. Arnim, Sr. and partner Jonathan Lane opened the Arnim & Lane Mercantile Store on Flatonia’s North Main Street in 1886, when the town was still in its infancy. Arnim’s eldest son, Judge E. A. “Sam” Arnim, Jr. spent a lifetime amassing an extensive collection of objects of local historic significance. In 1988, the Judge’s widow, Ann, had the idea of establishing a museum in Flatonia in his memory. The Flatonia State Bank offered its building, located across the street from the old Arnim & Lane store, to house the museum. The collection soon expanded through a generous outpouring of additional donations from numerous other families with deep roots in Flatonia history and has not stopped growing yet.
