Above dried beef and bacon wrapped chicken baked on 09-12-13 and was outstanding. Served with sides of potatoes, onions and garlic, steamed green beans and toasted garlic bread.

Recipe from Rachel Myers, a variation also from Laura Leanne Porter

NOTE: The dried beef is a little on the salty side and you can soak it in the refrigerator in regular tap water for several hours to help remove some of the salt. When our daughter Laura was learning to cook, we nicknamed her "Ellie May" because she sometimes turned out some dishes that words could not describe. However, she turned into a good little cook.

Above chicken served with mashed potatoes, mushroom and sour cream sauce, shoe peg corn, toss salad, garlic style Texas toast and filtered water. Chicken was very moist and tender.

Pix of Laura Porter taken in the mid to late 1980's field testing one of my tree stands.

Laura was awesome with a bow in tournaments beating out top women shooters from all over the State while she was a teenager. Several coaches in our City Lake Archery Club were former NC NFAA State Champions and we definitely had the edge! Laura was about 30 feet off the ground and I took this photo from the high end of our deck is about 12 feet off the ground. Laura doesn't shoot archery equipment anymore but won many first place women and youth trophies until her estrogen level kicked in and we have two fine grand boys who are now teenagers...go ahead and grin now!
