White Lily: Say It Ain't So

From Glenn Reynolds I hear that White Lily Flour will no longer be made in the South: By the end of the month, White Lily Flour, for more than 100 years a staple for biscuits, cakes and pies, will no longer be ...

I went up to the old city and took pictures of the old White Lily and JFG Coffee buildings on my way out. My mom says she is going to freeze all the White Lily flour and Three Rivers cornmeal she can, because they can never make the flour the same with northern wheat. We are spreading the word all the way to South Carolina to not buy any Smucker products.

Noooooo. This is sad news. I refuse to use anything but White Lily flour and Three Rivers corn meal. No one in my family uses anything else either. Taste quality is sorely lacking in other brands.

I wonder why they are moving operations?

We in the south should all mourn this day....

My daddy calls those flap jacks. We eat them with VanCamps pork & beans and fried taters. Good stuff!

I just realized how emotionally invested I am in certain brands - White Lily & Three Rivers, VanCamps, Dawn dish detergent (it has to be blue!). I could probably think of several more.

My mo has raised cane all night and morning about it. People can laugh at us if they want, they just don't know what they missed, if they did not grow up with these great meals.

That was my Mother.

I thought I was an only child, but we is kin or something.

This is awful, can anything get much worse? No tomatoes, no biscuits, no cornbread, I can't take it, I may start drinking. No, then they would get rid of it too. Call up the troops, I am having a break down.

Judging from some of your posts that I have read, I take that as a great compliment, sir.

i am mourning, raising cane, throwing things, and hunting my ear plugs(Mom). I am going up to the old meal and sing that old song that goes somthing like: "Can't live, if living is without you, can't live anymore", can't sing either. No more of mom's dumplins, cornbread dressing, homemade biscuits. This is wose than I thought, Smuckers bought Volgers coffee too. I use all of these. I refuse to buy anymore Smuckers anything. I am going to pieces. I thought about just ending it all and jumping in the pool and sitting down on thebottom, but my wife let all the wate out andstood the spiderman pool up on it's side. Can't spell either, AC or Montrose has the ploma e share and I can't spell without it.
