The following receipt was found in an old paper bag, handwritten on a yellowing piece of paper by my mother, Miss Mildred.  She was a wonderful cook.  She lived to be nearly 90 years old.  Maybe food like this helped herchicken to live that long.  Hope you will enjoy!

Ingredients

3 whole chicken breasts, split

4 or 5 Tablespoons all-purpose floor

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking oil

2 10½ oz. cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

¼ cup slivered almonds, divided

½ cup beer

1 3 oz. can mushrooms, drained

Remove skin from chicken and wash and dry well.  Combine flour, salt and pepper.  Dredge chicken in flour mixture and brown in heated oil.  Place chicken in shallow pan.  Combine soup, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons almonds, beer and mushrooms.  Pour over chicken.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees  for 1 hour or until done, basting occasionally.  Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

“Miss Patsy,” is the eldest of four children, all born in a country house built before 1900. She was taught to cook at an early age by her mother, Miss Mildred Ross.  It was and still is a sign of respect in certain pockets of Kershaw county to refer to locals by their name with Miss or Mr. preceding the first name. Simple home cooking was the rule of the day, and nothing was thrown away.  A cook book was hardly followed and recipes were shared using terms like “use a pinch of this, pinch of that,” and “add to taste.”  Miss Patsy is pretty darn good cook—so Professor Ron married her 41 years ago.
