My sister- in-law, Carol, hosted a family luncheon several weeks ago on on a Sunday afternoon.  She is really good at this and even gave a preview of the next one where we will get to see my other sister- in-law, Diana. 
My husband's older sister, Marilyn, had a profound influence on us. She has been gone for years but still the memory of her personality is with us.
Marilyn's son Jim (Dr. James Slough from Buffalo) was present at this event which prompted me to show him a recipe from the Sloughs I was given before I became a Long. 
                  
               Aunt Minny's Salisbury Steak
Aunt Minny's nickname was given to her by her little brother who could not pronounce Marilyn. He spelled it with a y ..she spelled it with "ie".  She had to put up with that all those years, but she grew up and married Uncle Tom.  Anyway, not long after they were married, the couple, up from a tiny apartment in Indy, stayed over at the Sloughs in Bourbon. There must have been some family celebration because all of Tom's brothers were there. The Longs were invited and that included me because we were engaged. Carol, Diana and Grandma Martha were there to scope out the digs. It was at this infamous occasion when Mrs. Slough, a delicate bird of a woman, chose a lull in the conversation to inquire of her son, James, if he had expelled gas.
Aunt Min was trying to cut food expenses and still cook what Tom remembered from childhood. That day Mrs. Slough gave her a recipe that served us through .  It won't necessarily give you gas.
