Thet woman didn't only have th' vittle job, she had to keep house, do her outside chores, help her man wit' sum of his chores, an' sumtimes raise a pack o' young'uns. In spite of all th' other chorse she had, th' hill woman came thru wit' flyin' colors in th' vittle department. You kin have sum scrumptious feeds in lots of homes in th' Ozarks.

Tie a big red onion to th' bedpost an' it keeps th' ones in th' bed frum havin' cold.
SWEET CIDER
There's no recipe fer makin' cider thet wuld be useful to most folks. They jest don't have the 'quipment to squeeze apples an' git thet juice. There's quite a bit to be said 'bout th' drinkin' of cider, tho.
Now sum folks might like their cider jest a bit hard. I guess thet's their privilege if they know how to handle it. I like my cider sweet an' cold in hot spells, an' hot an' spicy when thet first frost an' snow starts movin' in.
Now cider, cold or hot, is mighty good wit' sech things as doughnuts, cookies, fritters, etc. When yore tard an' hot a glass of cold cider really hits th' spot, or you may jest want to take th' jug an guzzle from thet.
In th' winter when you cume in 'bout half froze an' have a hard time warmin' up, sum good hot mulled cider will jest warm you all over, mebbe even yore feet.
They talk 'bout th' most poplar drink in th' Ozarks, an' meny people (furriners) git th' idea its' moonshine, but I reckon we hill people drink jest a mite more cider than we do white mule.
