Probably told this befo
Went to a neighbor's house (far away - in the country) for a visit. A girl
my age (about 5) asked me if I wanted to go into the kitchen with her and
make some eggs. It was a wooden stove -- no heat was on -- and there was a
large cast-iron skillet filled 2/3 full of bacon grease. She cracked some
eggs into it and we stood there watching for them to cook. I'll never
forget it.
