King Foodie and I were excited to get this enthusiastic response to “Mexican With Bonnie” from one of her family members, Gary B :

Dear Marney,
I married Bonnie’s beautiful sister, Brenda, 44 yrs ago and am the only right thinking family member. Yes I am a Repub.
Although this is a great southern meal it has a tendency to block veins and cause MI’s. Made me 6’6 300lbs and grew hair on my chest.
I couldn’t help myself and hope you took it the way it was intended and I am sure you did. Iffin ya ever want to cook fried green matters I will help ya there.
I TAUGHT BONNIE EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS ABOUT COOKING.
Now for a real meal…

Recipe:
Two pounds of thin sliced calf liver dipped in buttermilk then roll into flour thats been salted and peppered. Cook in cast iron skillet in oil.
Boil 5 lbs tattors, then mash with lots of cream and of course real butter.
Boil fresh turnip greens and chopped roots in bacon drippings. Add sugar at end of cooking when tender.
For Gravy: Take liver drippings and add flour till browned. Add fresh milk then let cook till thick.
Cracklin corn bread will also set this up for some good eaten.
Finish off with wild blackberry cobbler and homemade ice cream
Hope you enjoy the meal.
