Aunt Gertie and Mertie Denney


I remember Grandma making Stack Cake. Don't remember having it very often, who knows, she may have only made one in my lifetime. But I remember. A long time ago, I asked Grandma for the recipe and she sent it to me. I've never made one, but am planning to make it over the weekend. Here's the recipe in her handwriting:

There are no pictures that better illustrate our Appalachian heritage than from when we visited Aunt Gertie and Mertie. The picture of us on the porch is a familiar one. The other, I copied from Aunt Vena.

Do your remember Grandma's kitchen at the store? Do you remember the stove? The warming well where she's put the biscuits, waiting for us to wake up? hmmmmm... making myself hungry!

  1. The smell of biscuits when we woke up? The crazy scary pictures in the attic? The flashlights?
