No one
could make
chicken and
pastr y like my
grandmother,
Pauline
"Granny"
Tyndall. Not
only was it my favorite meal,
but as a child I would watch in
awe as she rolled out her pasty,
slicing each piece like she had
a ruler on it. Granny Tyndall's
table ever y holiday would be
overflowing with Southern
cuisines and love. I have never
attempted to make it the
way she did, but I cherish the
memories of watching her as
a little girl making my favorite
meal. – Angela Tyndall Godwin
