Mickler compiled these rural recipes of great artery clogging goodness. Be sure to check with your doctor first before trying them, and no, there aren’t any possum or squirrel recipes. For those you need a copy of The Foxfire Appalachian Cookbook.

[Found in our kitchen, reminded of it by Amy Oops.]

“If you can find a job that you would do without being paid, that’s what you should do.” – Harley Warrick

Large abandoned structure in Dillonvale, Ohio, in Jefferson county. Mail Pouch Tobacco ad barely visible.
[Found here.]

That’s Mail Pouch barn painter Harley Warrick (1924-2000).
Here’s an excellent tribute site to those who travelled the sticks to hand-paint the ubiquitous advertisements:
Mail Pouch Barnstormers.
That quote on top? It’s similar to what my own grampa told me:
“Find something you like to do, figure out how to get paid for it, and you’ll never work a day.”
