Origination of the term "Leanirodious"

Years of growing up around the big unincorporated town of Fruitland, I and the rest of my family members were used hearing the term "leanirodious." If food was good, it was deemed leanirodious by Grandma. Cooking was a passion of hers and for years, the Cherrys and descendants of Cherrys were able to take part in many leanirodious meals!
I am also going to pay homage to Maw Maw as well, I believe she is the queen of sweets and could quite possibly give Paula Dean a run for her money. A many cakes and pies have been shipped out her door to friends and families all over Bolivar. She, a southern cooker, needs no recipe, no internet access or hints from friends about how to cook something..she just does it. No matter what. I have heard stories about cooking coon, squirrel, rabbit and even possum...yes, possum. Like Maw Maw, my dad is also quite an adventurous cook...cooking anything and making me try it at least once...a few memories of good eats forced upon me by dad include, but not limited to bbq goat, gator, frog legs, crawfish, oysters and my ultimate favorite cow tongue. Oh yeah that one was thanks to all the men at Yankee Stadium back in about 1992 at the Field Trials...they all thought it would be a good idea to get the 8 year old to eat cow tongue...I wanted to vomit...ewww!
I now have been married for a little over a year and I am always trying to discover new ways to recreate foods and try any and everything at least once. I even try and harrass a few of my patients at work to find out their cooking secrets. The older ladies that I treat even tease me and have called me and my generation the "recipe cookers." They laugh saying that young girls wouldn't know what to do without a cookbook or recipe. I am going to begin blogging about my cooking journey- all the trial and errors, short cuts, substitues and wild and unusual eats. So here goes nothing!
