I was in the Walmart in Columbia TN and was surpri I was in the Walmart in Columbia TN and was surprised and happy to find 10 lb bags of Martha White self-rising flour. You’ve got to get out in the country where folks still bake biscuits regularly to find these big bags. Even better this kuchen recipe we developed probably 30 years ago is still on the sack. It was inspired by my grandma Jutta Almy’s plum kuchen she baked in the fall with those little Italian prune plums. In the test kitchen we were alway cooking up new ways to use self-rising flour beyond biscuits. I think this one was first called Kuchen For All Seasons because the easy cake can be topped with anything seasonal and baked all year long. Still makes me chuckle. If you’ve ever wondered about the recipes on a package, they actually come from real people. The next is a great old pic of my Martha White pal Linda Carman hanging with Tennessee Ernie Ford, the spokesperson for the brand after Flatt and Scruggs. Goodness Gracious ! It’s pea pickin’ good! #marthawhite #tennesseeernieford #selfrisingflour #biscuitflour #oldnashville
When you go see the fabulous Alma Thomas show at t When you go see the fabulous Alma Thomas show at the Frist, be sure to notice the companion exhibit as you enter called Nashville Art Teachers: Beyond the Classroom. Alma Thomas was more than an artist. She was a career art teacher dedicated to broadening the minds of her middle school students in Washington DC. I so appreciate that @streuliprofitt did just that for my kids at Hillsboro High School and now at Nasvhille School of the Arts. So glad to see her work in this very cool show. What a great idea. I’m sure Alma would have loved it. #frist #fristmuseum #hillsborohighschool
