Holiday favorites:

Pop's potatoes -
Boiled potato chunks with butter (real) & parsley sometimes a little
additional cream or sour cream. I cook them enough so the starch rubs off
to form a starchy sauce.

Real Boston Baked Beans
Baked in a bean pot for 24 to 36 hours. Beans, molasses, 1 hole onion, salt
pork, brown sugar, allspice or powdered ginger or powdered mustard.

Apple Brined Smoked Turkey
Orange/brown sugar glazed whole ham. (bean soup later)
Tiny's (came to San Diego from Iowa in 1900 at age 10, She died at age 105)
German Cabbage (Red cabbage with onion & apple)

More, much more, too much more.
