Tennessee Martini
"I am posting this for my niece. One of her fondest memories is my dad having his Tennessee Martini out of a glass that had Confederate money laminated in it. I am recreating this from memory. This is for you my sweet Nikki!"

This was very nice. I wasn't sure how big of a glass was "appropriate" to use so used a large martini glass. Very different than my usual drinks. Thanks for the recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm finally posting recipes after years of using this site. I want to be able to access treasured recipes without lugging a ton of books south with me when I move to Lake Chapala in Mexico.
Recently retired after 35 years teaching Algebra to 8th graders. I learned to cook at my mother's knee (and Julia Child expanded my vision). She was a 1st generation Swedish-American. Christmas was when we immersed outselves in the Swedish culture and food. Many of the recipes I have recently posted are from her hand-written notes and recipes. My one real regret is that she would never write down the "juice" she used to make pickled herring.
Favorite cookbook? I have over 100 or so. I love reading recipes.
