I'm not sure if I'm making them right, because I'm the only one I know who has ever made them—except for a former aunt. She never made them for us, but she talked about them a lot. Long after she'd packed up and headed home from Salem, Massachusetts to Mobile, Alabama, perhaps in my longing for her gentle touch in my life, I decided I would make hush puppies. I haven't seen her since I was 13, but each time I make my hush puppies I feel her presence. I would like to tell her that I miss her, because I never had the chance to say goodbye.<br /><br />Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-32060594287501336212013-09-12T19:27:57.383-04:002013-09-12T19:27:57.383-04:00Hey Deb!
