[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 614967, member: 8829"] Them fresh cracklins were somethin I loved em we always butchered 100 chickens ,2 hogs and a beef every yr I remember catchin chickens and cutting their heads off then we woud scald them , I remeber the hook coming out of a hogs leg when they were lowering it into the barrel to scald and it dropping in and scalding my dad, the neighbor pulled his knife and skinned dads overalls off of him, I think that is one of the reasons I always carry a knife sharp enough to shave with if he hadn't gotten them pants off dad would have been in a lot worse shape Life was hard back then but we didn't know any better and their were alot of folks that had it alot worse than us I remember mom and dad always taking chickens and pork to a couple neighbors I think that is why we always killed 100 chickens I know they gave at least 25 away and at least a 1/2 hog we had a neighbor that was killed by a mule and mom and dad always took his widow some meat and Dad bought all the seed for her garden and we got 1/2 for yrs although we didn't need it My brothers and I cut her wood for as long as she was living there all we ever asked for payment was a glass of milk and some of her sugar cookies she made the best Times were Hard but folks were GOOD and took care of one another [/QUOTE]
