Bless your heart, Mo. Hehehe.....suppose you're making up a mess of something that requires more than a cup? Or supposed you have more than 2 ingredients. For example, say you needed shortening, flour and sugar, but you needed twice as much flour as shortening and sugar. Then you would use 1 part shortening, 1 part sugar and 2 parts flour. In other words, just figure out how many parts combine to make a whole. Very simple.
Pay close attention Mo; not many yankees get instructed in the finer points of southern ways....and cooking. If you really want surprise hubby when he comes home....tell him you're gonna make him up a mess of greens and a sweet potato pie to go with them fish (assuming he catches any). Of course, he's had your cooking, but the thought will temporatily throw him off his guard and he will adore you for it. Then he'll get someone to watch the girls and take you out to dinner (are there any restaurants in Philly that serve catfish, greens and sweet potato pie?)
Ok ok .. Now I know what that means .. *L*
And yes he does catch fish. It's funny because his buddy who has every fishing gadget possible never catches a thing
All Mike takes is his fishing pole a few worms and some other creepy bugs and he always catches his limit
