 a Caillé | Annie Mae Abshire - a great Cajun mawmaw |
Annie Mae, our first recipe submitter, wrote: "This is the way I make old time cottage cheese." - May 2003
In memory of his grandmother on her 2006 passing, Brandon, Co-editor of the website, writes : Annie Mae Abshire was born, raised, married and lived in Kaplan, LA for all 88 years of her life. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who will be missed by all.
