Daddy and mama would bring everything in the old Chevy station wagon; the coals, chicken, potato salad, a large ice chest full of soft drinks, quilts; just about anything you needed for a picnic.
And if anything was forgotten, we, as a gaggle of children, would walk home to get whatever was forgotten.
In the 50's and 60's almost everyone would have a picnic in Girard park at least once a month.
We children would have the baseball and bat ready to walk to the park just for the fun of it! Not stepping, of course, on any of the cracks in the sidewalk!
So the other day I was digging through some old recipes and found this one that my daddy had handwritten for a barbecue sauce. Now, I have never tried it, but I thought it was worthy of having as a memory.
Jimmy's Barbecue Sauce
Simmer together for 5 minutes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
