Approximately one million years ago when the Southern husband and I were young and foolish, we had a lot less, well, stuff than we have now. We had one television, one car, one teeny antique house and no hound dog. We didn’t have Iphones or digital cameras or laptops. (Neither did anyone else…we are talking the Dark Ages here. We are talking pre-Internet. We are talking phones with curly cords. ) One thing that we DID have, however, was a very fine cast iron cooking pot, which has somehow escaped over the years. We loved that pot, and among other things we made this wonderful Greek stew over and over and over in it, so whenever I make it these days it zaps me back to those olden days.
