The Santa Fe Railroad arrived in the area and began asking for right of way permissions. Mr. Maloney told them to move on down the road and ask someone else for permission. His wife then mentioned how nice it would be to be able to ride the train into Fort Worth.

Mr. Maloney had a change of heart. He road his horse to meet with the workers. He told them the could go through. One of the workers asked what he said and was told, “He has let us go through.” It was decided right then that the stop would be named “Haslet”. Boom! The town was named and the railroad gave credit to Charles Maloney. The year was 1886.

On to the recipe!

I didn’t get far in the cookbook, “Heavenly Delights: Haslet United Methodist Women” before I found a recipe I wanted to try out. Hot Apple Cider! Yessss! Not much to say other than y’all need to try this. It’s super easy!

Couple Things:

  1. I doubled the recipe and used a big coffee urn. This was great for a crowd.
  2. I’ve had a sore throat and this helped so much!

That’s it! It’s fab!

Cooking Without Photos – Apple Dumplings

Jumping in, we head to Roland, Oklahoma. Roland began as a small community called Garrison or Garrison Creek. They voted to change their name in 1904. Within a few years, Roland had a population of over 200, postal service, public school, general stores and grocery stores.

The town doubled and then tripled in size over the next 70 or so years. Their main population spike came when the Cherokee Nation built the casino. It was originally called, Cherokee Nation Bingo Outpost.

It’s a sweet little town, full of history and just across the border into Oklahoma from Arkansas.

On to the recipe!

While looking thru, “Taste Of Heaven: Zion Missionary Baptist Church” I came across Apple Dumplings. I’ve actually made these a few times but it’s been probably 10 years or more. Our youngest had never had rhem before, so I decided it was time to get back at it. And he could also help me.

Couple things:
This recipe is pretty spot on.

  1. I used Granny Smith apples
  2. You can also use Sprite if you’d like instead of Mountain Dew.

That’s it. Enjoy!

Cooking Without Photos Week 3

This week we travel together to Conway, South Carolina. I’ve never even been to South Carolina! I honestly think I picked this cookbook up at an estate sale. Anywho, here’s a little bit of a history lesson.

The British began settling in what is now South Carolina in 1670. The timber industry quickly became a way of life for folks in Horry (O-Rry) county. I wonder how many times a day they have to correct out of towners on THAT pronunciation🤔.

Fire destroyed the town and it was rebuilt in the early 1900’s. Since then it has thrived and become a popular tourist stop with its close proximity to Myrtle Beach.

Today’s selection comes to you from Seasoned Love: Conway Christian Church. Wahoo! Southern Fried Apples😍 DELICIOUS!!! One thing… Sorry Linda Roundtree, there’s no way this will feed 12 people😆 And I added whipped cream…because who doesn’t like that?!
