Sylvia Lovely:
Hi there, Freda Merriweather.
Sylvia Lovely:
Freda Marriweather: Well, good morning, Ms.
Sylvia Lovely:
Sylvie.
Sylvia Lovely:
It's been such a long time.
Freda Marriweather:
Such a long time.
Freda Marriweather:
Such a long time.
Freda Marriweather:
Like a week, but yeah.
Sylvia Lovely:
I know.
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, before that, we spent nearly every day together.
Freda Marriweather:
Every day.
Freda Marriweather:
For 10 years.
Freda Marriweather:
Every day.
Freda Marriweather:
I love it.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Sylvia Lovely:
W'e're here today, Freda, as you know, with, Family Tree Food
Sylvia Lovely:
and Stories podcast, that I do with Nancy May, who is an amazing person.
Sylvia Lovely:
And I knew a lot about your mother, outside of Maysville, Kentucky, and you
Sylvia Lovely:
did a little video with her one day, and I knew a lot of things about her.
Sylvia Lovely:
But that video was just priceless, and you did it on your phone.
Sylvia Lovely:
You said the television was blaring.
Sylvia Lovely:
It was blaring as usual.
Freda Marriweather:
As usual, every time I go there, it's always blaring.
Freda Marriweather:
I can hear it out the door.
Sylvia Lovely:
And she wasn't about to turn it down.
Sylvia Lovely:
No, she said she can't, yeah.
Sylvia Lovely:
We're not going to mess with her.
Freda Marriweather:
Right.
Freda Marriweather:
No, not at all.
Freda Marriweather:
I think she must have something going on with her hearing, but it's okay.
Freda Marriweather:
It's okay.
Freda Marriweather:
I live with it now because, I mean, I'm used to it.
Sylvia Lovely:
How old is she?
Freda Marriweather:
My mom just turned 90 in December.
Freda Marriweather:
So she'll be 91 this coming December.
Freda Marriweather:
Uh, we had a surprise birthday party for her, 90th birthday, and
Freda Marriweather:
it really was a surprise and she was upset that she didn't know about it.
Freda Marriweather:
So, no one told her.
Freda Marriweather:
No one told her.
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, now, tell us your mother's name.
Freda Marriweather:
My mom's name is Gloria.
Freda Marriweather:
Polly Medea Rice.
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, that's a, that's a regal name.
Freda Marriweather:
It is.
Freda Marriweather:
she says she's Medea.
Freda Marriweather:
I told her don't tell everybody that.
Sylvia Lovely:
I love that.
Sylvia Lovely:
Now, your mother, again, I've heard so many things about her.
Sylvia Lovely:
She's like the official adoptee of the town.
Sylvia Lovely:
Yes.
Sylvia Lovely:
You told me that.
Sylvia Lovely:
Now, I know you're, uh, you're one of the, does she have one,
Sylvia Lovely:
two, I know she had a son.
Freda Marriweather:
Yes, it was me and my brother, and my brother, passed away
Freda Marriweather:
in a car accident in 1984, so, but yes, it was just the two of us, and my mom.
Freda Marriweather:
And of course, my mom and dad were divorced and estranged, so
Freda Marriweather:
my mom raised me and my brother.
Sylvia Lovely:
Where?
Freda Marriweather:
In Lewisburg, outside of Maysville.
Freda Marriweather:
she's still in the same house that I was raised in and born, I wasn't born in
Freda Marriweather:
the house, but yeah, it's the only house I've ever known is where she is now.
Freda Marriweather:
And she says she will not leave it.
Freda Marriweather:
No matter what, she had to be carried out, and I told her, okay.
Sylvia Lovely:
It's in a bit of a state of disrepair.
Freda Marriweather:
Just a little bit.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah, it's an older home.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, I'm, without telling my age, I'm like up there in the
Freda Marriweather:
60s, so you can imagine the house was there before I was born.
Freda Marriweather:
So, she says it's historic, but I'm not sure, but she says it is.
Freda Marriweather:
She said some slave person used to live there years ago, so
Freda Marriweather:
that to her makes it historic.
Freda Marriweather:
But we haven't got a historic distinction on that.
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, I know as an aside, you're doing some work
Sylvia Lovely:
on an old black cemetery that's in back of the house, right?
Freda Marriweather:
Yes, there's an old cemetery that's
Freda Marriweather:
in the back of my mom's house.
Freda Marriweather:
Trying to figure out who owns it and really would love to see it
Freda Marriweather:
maintained somehow, but you have to cross a little creek to get there.
Freda Marriweather:
And back in the day, that's what they did when people died.
Freda Marriweather:
They carried them up there across the creek and buried them there.
Freda Marriweather:
So a lot of old graves.
Freda Marriweather:
And right back when I was young, my brother, uh, He used to take
Freda Marriweather:
me in the neighborhood free and we would go up in the cemetery, but
Freda Marriweather:
he would leave us and we would cry.
Freda Marriweather:
We were scared to death because a lot of the grays were sinking in.
Freda Marriweather:
So we didn't know if we were going to leave the cemetery or not.
Freda Marriweather:
So I am working.
Freda Marriweather:
I like to try to figure something out on that and, and really try to figure out if
Freda Marriweather:
maybe there's someone who, served in the military, perhaps that might be buried
Freda Marriweather:
there and maybe can get some, Government Help, Because She Fits So Better, and,
Freda Marriweather:
that's buried there, but, uh, yeah.
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, that's great.
Sylvia Lovely:
Now, you know, Family Tree Food and Stories is all about family
Sylvia Lovely:
stories, particularly as they surround food, but there's almost
Sylvia Lovely:
no way to separate all that out.
Sylvia Lovely:
But what we're going to do today is, I want to give another brief introduction
Sylvia Lovely:
to a word that is used often to describe your mother, character.
Sylvia Lovely:
She's a character.
Sylvia Lovely:
Yeah.
Sylvia Lovely:
And what would you say that means she is?
Freda Marriweather:
She's funny.
Sylvia Lovely:
She's sassy.
Freda Marriweather:
She's sassy.
Freda Marriweather:
You never know what's going to come out of her mouth and my husband says I'm
Freda Marriweather:
like my mom, but anyway He said this is what we're gonna have to deal with
Freda Marriweather:
when you get older I'm like, I doubt it.
Freda Marriweather:
But yeah, but she she shoots straight from the hip I think over the years
Freda Marriweather:
she's probably gotten more like that Of course when we were younger, it
Freda Marriweather:
was just my mom Uh, that raised me and my brother and, back then we didn't
Freda Marriweather:
have a car, so we had to hitchhike to Maysville, we call it going to town.
Freda Marriweather:
We had to go to town.
Freda Marriweather:
So we were sending our laundry baskets down by someone who we'd done a ride
Freda Marriweather:
with up on the road and then my mom, my brother and I, we would go down later.
Freda Marriweather:
To the laundromat to wash her clothes once a week.
Freda Marriweather:
So, but we had to hitchhike everywhere.
Freda Marriweather:
And, uh, she, she's a strong woman.
Freda Marriweather:
She really is strong.
Sylvia Lovely:
Now, the town takes care of her, right?
Sylvia Lovely:
Brings her food.
Sylvia Lovely:
Yeah, there's you said the banker actually does her.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah, there's a banker friend of ours.
Freda Marriweather:
And she helps her, with paying her bills.
Freda Marriweather:
And you would think mom has a whole bunch of money, but she really don't.
Freda Marriweather:
But it's really sweet of them to do it.
Freda Marriweather:
And, she's got a lot of people that bring her food and takes care of her.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, she's 90.
Freda Marriweather:
So I'd rather not she do too much cooking.
Freda Marriweather:
So I'm grateful and appreciative of those people who rally around her.
Freda Marriweather:
And it is like a small community.
Freda Marriweather:
I'm not quite sure she would get that kind of service in Lexington,
Freda Marriweather:
I remember a time when, the mayor of Maysville, when we worked together
Freda Marriweather:
at KLC, was, on the board, but she would get her license plate.
Freda Marriweather:
And she would take it down to the mayor's office and have the mayor
Freda Marriweather:
to put her license plates on.
Freda Marriweather:
Now, do you think our mayor here would put a license plate on anybody's car?
Freda Marriweather:
I doubt that.
Freda Marriweather:
But that's the small community.
Freda Marriweather:
People just take care of each other.
Freda Marriweather:
And her highlight was she could get around.
Freda Marriweather:
Well, she'd just go everywhere.
Freda Marriweather:
Everybody knows her.
Freda Marriweather:
they bring her Diet Coke.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, she just, you know.
Freda Marriweather:
She gets everything.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, she's like, she's spoiled rotten.
Freda Marriweather:
That's her problem.
Sylvia Lovely:
Okay, now, so we've sort of established that this is a true character.
Sylvia Lovely:
Now, you only had to watch that video to have that confirmed.
Sylvia Lovely:
one of my favorite parts is when she's leaning over to get a cigarette
Sylvia Lovely:
as she's telling you that she's not about to tell you her recipes.
Freda Marriweather:
Exactly.
Sylvia Lovely:
But then you kind of reminded her that.
Sylvia Lovely:
She would not be able to take them with her, right?
Freda Marriweather:
Exactly.
Freda Marriweather:
Oh, that's a secret.
Freda Marriweather:
I think she gave me recipes for her macaroni and cheese
Freda Marriweather:
and her scallop cabbage.
Freda Marriweather:
And she said, I can't give you the recipe.
Freda Marriweather:
But I'm like, Mom, when you pass away, the recipe is gone.
Freda Marriweather:
So there will be no secret.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, I won't know.
Freda Marriweather:
I can't tell my kids If they wanted to know..
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, it just kind of goes with you.
Freda Marriweather:
So, we want to share that so it can continue on, in life.
Freda Marriweather:
So, she kind of went through it.
Freda Marriweather:
And yeah,
Sylvia Lovely:
Well, can you tell me generally one of those recipes?
Sylvia Lovely:
Because we could barely pick up on this specific because she was kind
Sylvia Lovely:
of like, you know, this is what we did and we didn't write it down and.
Sylvia Lovely:
Yeah, all that.
Sylvia Lovely:
So what's your memory?
Freda Marriweather:
It was like a spur of the moment kind of a video play I did
Freda Marriweather:
with her, just trying to record history.
Freda Marriweather:
You know, she's 90.
Freda Marriweather:
But she talked about her cat, Scallop Cabbage, and one of the things she
Freda Marriweather:
said, you know, you gotta decide how much, how many people you're feeding.
Freda Marriweather:
Is it going to be a small head or medium head, if it's just a few people,
Freda Marriweather:
a small head, but it need be hard.
Freda Marriweather:
The cabbage need to be solid.
Freda Marriweather:
So I'm like, okay.
Freda Marriweather:
She talked about she boils her cabbage, puts a lot of water, salt
Freda Marriweather:
in it, pepper, boil it, get it half done, cut it up, put it in the dish.
Freda Marriweather:
Oh, so she boils the whole head.
Freda Marriweather:
Boils the whole head.
Freda Marriweather:
She cuts it up, puts it in the dish.
Freda Marriweather:
Put some, save some of the liquid that's on it and pours that on there.
Freda Marriweather:
Um, she said you use butter, stick of butter, not margarine.
Freda Marriweather:
You gotta use stick of butter.
Freda Marriweather:
And a stick.
Freda Marriweather:
You gotta have a stick of butter.
Freda Marriweather:
And she uses the, the cream, the cane cream.
Freda Marriweather:
She won't use the milk we get 2%.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, she's gotta be, yeah, gotta be cane cream.
Freda Marriweather:
With some milk, salt, pepper.
Freda Marriweather:
She pours all that over there.
Freda Marriweather:
Crackers.
Freda Marriweather:
If you use saltine, you don't need really add a lot of salt because the
Freda Marriweather:
saltine has salt, the crackers had salt in it and pepper, and then you kind of
Freda Marriweather:
put some, like get a stick of butter over top of it and put it in the oven.
Freda Marriweather:
And uh, she said, well delicious.
Freda Marriweather:
Just delicious.
Freda Marriweather:
That's just the way she tells her stories.
Freda Marriweather:
So, but she says the thing is about recipe.
Freda Marriweather:
I can't tell you exactly how much.
Freda Marriweather:
She said, you gotta use your brain.
Freda Marriweather:
She called it a brain quiz.
Freda Marriweather:
That's rights.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
She said it's a brain quiz, you gotta use your brain.
Freda Marriweather:
She said, I could never ever cook with any kind of recipe because you just got to use
Freda Marriweather:
your brain on deciding how much goes in.
Freda Marriweather:
In where?
Sylvia Lovely:
Is he a taster?
Sylvia Lovely:
Did he taste what she made?
Freda Marriweather:
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure.
Sylvia Lovely:
And how did it taste?
Freda Marriweather:
Good.
Freda Marriweather:
I absolutely love her scallop cabbage.
Freda Marriweather:
It's almost like same way you do scallop oysters, I guess, but it
Freda Marriweather:
would just be creamy because she's going to add that cane cream in
Freda Marriweather:
there, her butter, not margarine.
Sylvia Lovely:
A stick.
Freda Marriweather:
A stick, exactly.
Freda Marriweather:
Yes, yes, but always so good.
Freda Marriweather:
Of course, as she's gotten older, it's hard for her to cook now, but I just
Freda Marriweather:
remember How much I love her scholarship.
Sylvia Lovely:
How often would she cook then?
Freda Marriweather:
Probably quite often.
Freda Marriweather:
Quite often as I was growing up.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, of course, back in the day, Sylvia, in the country,
Freda Marriweather:
we had everything on the table that could run out in the yard.
Freda Marriweather:
That's what we ate.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, anything that was out in the yard, even now, will be out.
Freda Marriweather:
She says, Oh, cut that, because I can put that in some grains.
Freda Marriweather:
I'm like, what?
Freda Marriweather:
I don't know.
Freda Marriweather:
That's like weeds to me.
Freda Marriweather:
I don't know about putting weeds in my grains.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, I don't know what that is.
Freda Marriweather:
But she said, No, no, you put that in there.
Freda Marriweather:
So everything she sees outdoors that could be cookable back in the
Freda Marriweather:
day, that's kind of what they did.
Freda Marriweather:
You know, uh, we had, we didn't have, we had fresh chickens, you
Freda Marriweather:
know, chickens to be out in the yard.
Freda Marriweather:
Go get you one, go get you one.
Freda Marriweather:
And they cut the heads off and they pour things to be running around the yard.
Freda Marriweather:
And I just be, I was a kid, I'm looking like where is this chicken
Freda Marriweather:
going to land, it's running around.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, even now people will bring her, rabbits.
Freda Marriweather:
I'm like, I'm talking about they've skinned it.
Freda Marriweather:
The rabbit in the freezer shaped like the rabbit is like very disgusting
Freda Marriweather:
to me at this point in life.
Freda Marriweather:
And, but that's just, they bring her, they'll still bring her the
Freda Marriweather:
wild animals that people I love that,
Sylvia Lovely:
And the weeds and all of that, if we only knew,
Sylvia Lovely:
I mean, we don't know that now.
Freda Marriweather:
Right, right.
Freda Marriweather:
And as a young kid, I do remember going with my mom and my grandma,
Freda Marriweather:
uh, my grandmother, we'd go out in the fields and cut greens.
Freda Marriweather:
Well, I always said, show me one.
Freda Marriweather:
And then I'll try to find it in the grass because I didn't know
Freda Marriweather:
what they look like, but they did.
Freda Marriweather:
That's just how they did it.
Freda Marriweather:
They, it was just the old way.
Freda Marriweather:
Not everything is so convenient for us now, but back in the
Freda Marriweather:
day, that's how they lived.
Freda Marriweather:
Was getting their foods.
Sylvia Lovely:
Do you now cook some of the same recipes?
Sylvia Lovely:
I'm assuming you, you don't go out and pick weeds.
Freda Marriweather:
No, I don't do any of that.
Freda Marriweather:
No, I do cook greens.
Freda Marriweather:
I get them from the grocery store.
Freda Marriweather:
So I do cook fresh greens and always.
Freda Marriweather:
In my mind, acclimated in my mind is you always gotta have a
Freda Marriweather:
piece of old meat of some kind.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
In your greens.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
You know, so I would go to maybe get some country ham hawk
Freda Marriweather:
and, and put it in my greens.
Freda Marriweather:
So I try to do a little like her, but I don't cook rabbit.
Freda Marriweather:
I don't fry squirrel.
Freda Marriweather:
I don't do any of that.
Freda Marriweather:
I, yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
Now I love chitlins.
Freda Marriweather:
I do eat that however.
Freda Marriweather:
I don't clean 'em.
Freda Marriweather:
My husband does.
Freda Marriweather:
My grandfather, he would make souse uh, from the hog head, so, Souse,
Freda Marriweather:
Souse, and I think you can still get it in store, but it's probably not the
Freda Marriweather:
same way my grandfather would make it.
Freda Marriweather:
They just kind of grind up the hog head and I'm not sure where
Freda Marriweather:
all else, but my grandfather will always vinegar, salt and pepper.
Freda Marriweather:
And it's kind of cut like in a square, but it's called Souse.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
The way I was raised was on food from the farm.
Freda Marriweather:
From nature.
Freda Marriweather:
but it's just grown differently.
Sylvia Lovely:
And whatever didn't make it across the road.
Freda Marriweather:
Exactly.
Freda Marriweather:
Turtle.
Freda Marriweather:
You name it.
Freda Marriweather:
Like, Oh my God, frog legs.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, you name it.
Freda Marriweather:
That's just the way I was raised.
Freda Marriweather:
And my mom said, you should.
Freda Marriweather:
So I forgot where you come from, especially when she
Freda Marriweather:
starts talking about all that.
Freda Marriweather:
And I'm going, Oh God, no, I can't eat that.
Freda Marriweather:
And it's like, you were raised on this kind of food.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
You know, but she's definitely, definitely a card and, and being 90, I'm trying to
Freda Marriweather:
get as much history from her as I can.
Freda Marriweather:
Oh, please do.
Freda Marriweather:
'cause family is so important to me at the age I am now, is knowing my history
Freda Marriweather:
and knowing my family where I come from.
Sylvia Lovely:
That's so good.
Sylvia Lovely:
And that's so Family tree, food and stories.
Sylvia Lovely:
And I know you go every Thursday.
Sylvia Lovely:
And, My favorite recent story, though, was that you said she thinks she owns
Sylvia Lovely:
the seat that she sits in at church.
Freda Marriweather:
Oh yeah, we had that conversation.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah, she's like, no, that's my, I'm like, Mom, you literally
Freda Marriweather:
don't own the seat at the church.
Freda Marriweather:
And she said, uh, you know, someone comes and sits in it, she's going
Freda Marriweather:
to stand there until they move.
Freda Marriweather:
I'm like, seriously, you can't just go and sit somewhere else.
Freda Marriweather:
I said, that's not very welcoming to people trying to come to the
Freda Marriweather:
church, but she's not any different than A lot of people, older people
Freda Marriweather:
who think the seat is theirs, but you get used to a particular spot.
Freda Marriweather:
I think in the church, it's not so much that you feel it's your
Freda Marriweather:
seat, but if you get there first and you sit there every Sunday.
Freda Marriweather:
And she's the oldest member of the church.
Freda Marriweather:
That's the only church that she's known So yeah, but she's definitely
Sylvia Lovely:
A walking page of history.
Freda Marriweather:
Yeah.
Freda Marriweather:
Every once a week I go down to help her and there's always some
Freda Marriweather:
kind of story, but as I've gotten older I kind of just let her.
Freda Marriweather:
Let her be, let her say the things that she want to say, even the
Freda Marriweather:
things she say to other people.
Freda Marriweather:
It's just so funny.
Freda Marriweather:
I just sit there and look.
Freda Marriweather:
I used to get embarrassed, but I'm not embarrassed now.
Freda Marriweather:
She does not embarrass me.
Freda Marriweather:
I love my mom and, um, uh, we go a long way.
Freda Marriweather:
I mean, she helped, she raised me, you know, she taught me to be
Freda Marriweather:
the person that I am today and,
Sylvia Lovely:
Which is phenomenal, I might say.
Sylvia Lovely:
I know you well.
Sylvia Lovely:
Thank you, Freda, for this wonderful little moment, and thank you on behalf
Sylvia Lovely:
of Family Tree Food and Stories, and Nancy and I, this is just wonderful
Sylvia Lovely:
for us, and we'll probably be back.
Sylvia Lovely:
We want to hear the constant stories, that are streaming away.
Sylvia Lovely:
from this phenomenal woman who will not be with us that much
Sylvia Lovely:
longer, so let's soak it up.
Freda Marriweather:
Exactly, and I appreciate what you and Nancy are doing.
Freda Marriweather:
I look forward to seeing all the stories and the things that you have posted
Freda Marriweather:
so far now out on the Facebook page.
Freda Marriweather:
It's just so interesting the things that you all have, and everyone has stories.
Freda Marriweather:
Everybody has stories about Recipes and family, and I just encourage people
Freda Marriweather:
to sit and talk to your older members, find out about your history, find out
Freda Marriweather:
about those recipes, uh, just stories of their lives as they grew up, because
Freda Marriweather:
everybody didn't have it easy, so you want to hear about your family,
Sylvia Lovely:
