As promised, here is another quote from then-octogenarian Hillard Green in 1972:
"Lotsa people don't even know how t'cook anymore. They just go t'th' store and get it fixed already. These girls nowadays go off t'school and learn about everything but what's really important. Get home and still can't even cook a meal. If your woman can't cook whenever you get married, let me know and I'll come cook fer ye!"
"That's the way I learn. Experiment and experiment. Try different ways. Never learned it by readin'--just by doin'. That's th' way we all learn, ain't it?"
