What's Cookin'?
Jerry's just about seen it all

grandmothermany monikerSandbesideSgreat.grand.mother, thought, 'Well I can start with
mother.
"I've got lots of nicknames,"
Jerry admits. Geraldine is her
middle name, yielding her most
common nickname. She's also
known as "Pa" to her great-
grandchildren. "My oldest
great-grandson named me 'Pa'
and I've been Pa ever since," she
explains with a laugh.
Some of her handles were be-
stowed by truckers and other cus-
tomers she knew during a 33-
year career as a cook. Jerry ex-
plains, "I was known as 'Sam'
and 'Cookie' and everything else
they could name me. They all
had different names for me."
She pauses and quickly adds,
"But they was all good names,
though.
"I STARTED SLINGING hash
in 1948 and I had to hang it up in
1983," she says. And she still has
a reputation at Fir Tree Apart-
ments for fixing some fine vit-
tles - hot dishes and salads for
potlucks, pies and cakes for bake
sales.
"My mother was a very good
cook. It was inherited, I guess
you could say," observes the
woman who grew up during the
Depression on a farm in Men-
(ion, Missouri. "I just picked it up
myself but I remembered some of
the things she had said to me. I
got to Ibllowing some recipes of
other people, but I didn't use that
so much. It was all practically in
my head as to what I did."
She began cooking profession-
ally "when I was raising my
children with no support from
my ex-husband," she notes. "I
worked two jobs. One was a cook
and one was a waitress. I worked
16 I/2 hours a day for about eight
or" I0 years."
JERRY LaFOLLETTE WHO grew up on a Missouri farm
during the Depression recalls, "We had rough times
but good times." She also remembers Saturday barn
dances and going to the movies for a nickel.
Her first job was in Alpha, Il-
linois, in a railroad diner car
known as Zip's Diner. She
worked there two or three years
because it was close to where she
lived and her children were in
school. "Then I went to Gales-
burg, Illinois, which we lived not
too far from and I worked at
Marty's Supper Club, and I was a
waitress there," Jerry continues.

and raising three children fi-
nally took its toll. "That was the

.............. 100 Years Ago
From the May 19, 1899, Mason County Journal:
()ld-tmmrs say that this has been the rainiest and most backward
spring since 1887. The intervals of planting and growing weather
since the beginning of the year have been few and far between.
New babies have been added to the following residents in the vi-
cinity of New Kamilche of late: Dan Hurley, Fred Taylor, George
Tew and Joseph Y. Waldrip.
Two women of ill repute started to fix up quarters at the Point,
were arrested and on trial by jury before Justice Fisk Tuesday, were
acquitted. The council, however, notified them that they will be de-
dared a nuisance, and they have promised to pull out, which is
good.

light wire while half a dozen more
whirled over the little reservoir. A
chickadee emerged from a bird-
house in a maple tree across the
alley and make a quick foraging
flight to the sunflower-seed feed-
er, where a pair of linnets was
also munching away, and a pine
siskin was breakfasting on the
thistle feeder.
A hummingbird went whirring
past the laburnum thicket at the
edge of the reservoir, a song spar-
row announced itself from the
same thicket and a white-
crowned sparrow checked out the
leavings under one of the feeders.
A mallard duck took flight from
the pond.
What a JeckyU-and-Hyde view
of the bird world.
First thing in the morning, I
looked out the south-facing up-
stairs window into the front yard.
To my disgust, a brown-headed
cowbird, one of those nasty nest-
parasiters, was munching seed at
the bird feeder.
ttigher in the same cherry tree
were a starling and an English
sparrow, both invasive imports
with pushy habits. In a nearby fir
tree I could hear several crows
cawing and a couple of others
were quarreling over some litter
m the library parking lot. What
chance, I wondered, do the native
songbirds have?
I looked out the back window.

back there, both of them, said my
body was just wore out and my
heart was tired. It was a bad one
cause they didn't even want me to
move my little finger and they
said I would never go back to
work. I told them to hide and
watch this Missourian. I would
be back at work.
"So a year and 13 days later I
was back cooking again," she
recalls. And how did she accom-
plish that? "Willpower," Jerry
states, "and I knew I had to take
care of my children."
Not long afterwards, Jerry left
Illinois. "On July 8, 1970, I
drove, by myself, from Gales-
burg to E1 Paso, Texas, and I
stayed 10 1/2 years with those
people," sh' says, adding that
"those people" were owners of
McLain's Truck Stop on East
Gateway just outside of El Paso,
on Interstate 10 South.
"When I went down there and
put this application in at Mc-
Lain's Truck Stop, I told her, 'I
don't know a taco from an enchi-
lada.' She said, 'Well, you're a
good other cook so we'll teach
yOU.' "
SHE MUST HAVE been a
quick study because after observ-
ing another cook for several
days, Jerry started cooking all
the menu items. Her boss in-
formed Jerry she made the best
Mexican food she ever had.
In fact, this feisty lady who did
not know one ingredient from
another for Mexican food re-
calls, "I made my own enchilada
sauce. I just start from the raw.
For the longest time I had to con-
something and come out with
something.' After I made the
first big batch she said, 'We'll
never get anything else. You're
nominated to make enchilada
sauce.'
"Oh, my kids just loved it,"
she interjects, "when I was able
to do it, to have Mexican food
when they came home."
Jerry continues, "I'll tell you
we really used to put out some
meals. If you see a truck stop and
it's full of truckers, you just bet-
ter pull off cause you're going to
have a good meal."
OVER THE decade she devel-
oped a reputation as well as rap-
port with the truckers. "I had one
that came in from Houston,
Texas, and after he had break-
fast wherever he was, he hit din-
ner before I got off," Jerry notes.
In another case, Jerry and one
of the truck drivers were friends
for years and he used to tell her
when he went east he was going
to bring "Cookie" along with
him, just so other truckers could
see who fixed his meals in E1
Paso. With warm laughter she
adds, "And I thought, 'Oh, that'll
be a trip and a half.' "
When the lease was up at the
truck stop, the owner opened
another restaurant in Anthony,
New Mexico, about 30 miles west
of El Paso. "She had 17 em-
ployees and I was the only one
she took with her. Those truckers
found out where we were," she
says, "and they'd park in a vac-
ant lot across the street, taking a
detour offI-10 about a mile to still
have lunches and breakfasts."
In the early '80s Jerry moved
to Merced, California, where one
of her son still resides. She did
some cooking there, but Jerry
notes, "I didn't work very long
there. My health just kept going
down, and that was in '82 that I
quit, December 31."
JERRY CLAIMS she never
had an accident in the kitchen
during those 33 years. After a
pause, she confesses, "Well, one
day I did act foolish." She
chuckles and continues, "One
day I grabbed a brick of chili that
we kept as a reserve and went to
cut it and my knife got this
thumb. But I didn't miss any
work. I went around with a green
thumb. They called me 'green
thumb' for a while before I could
get that big bandage off."
Even though she is not cooking
professionally, when Jerry
moved to Shelton in 1993 she be-
came known at Fir Tree for the
dishes she brought to the social
gatherings. "I make all my pies
from scratch," she explains. "I
don't use any puddings for a base
or anything. I start from the raw

in everything. And I've made
some pretty good looking pies
when they had the bake sales. I
even had one woman come in
and ask if I'd make a chocolate
pie and keep it for her."
Without a hint of self-pity or
regret she states, "I'm pretty
well-known for cookin' but I had
to quit that because I just ain't
able to do anything to speak of. I
have to walk with a cane."
Of all those recipes she kept in
her head, Jerry does concede, "I
should have wrote them all
down." She smiles and adds, "I
told my daughter Connie, "You
know, some days I can't remem-
ber what you told me day before
yesterday but I can remember
things 50 and 60 years back.' "
JERRY OFFERS an example.
"I can remember when I had a
problem with this knee when I
was about 4 years old. They
really didn't know what was
wrong with me but I couldn't
walk. Dad, years later, said he
thinks I had a light case of polio.
I can remember him coming in
and he'd put me in a little red
wagon and pull me all around
town so I could get outside. I had
to learn to walk all over again
when I was about 5.
"But I never had anymore
problems until the osteoporosis
set up. It hurts like thunder at
times, but I guess that's life for
you. I don't get down about it. A
lot of people, you know, they let
their illness get them down. I
just figure it's for a cause. You
can't figure all these things out.
"My sister calls me from Al-
buquerque and she'll say, 'How
you doing?' and I say, 'I'm kick-
ing but not too high.'"
Jerry says, "It makes me feel
good that people like what I fix."
Requests at Fir Tree include her
ham and scalloped potatoes and
pea salad. She uses the regular
peas, not the miniature variety,
because Jerry explains it makes
the salad better.
