  • On a ranch near the very small town of Seymour, Texas, cowboys fuel up for hard work. Kent and Shannon Rollins are cooks who prepare their cowboy meals-on-wheels on an actual, working chuck wagon. Scott Simon reports on the secrets to cowboy cooking.

    I was visiting a friend in a rest home once and met this lady who was badly crippled up with arthritus. She was about 85 years old and just full of laughter and energy to visit and talk. My friend kept falling asleep during the visit and I would sit quietly with him- he wasn't long for our side of heaven. Anyway, this old gal came over struggling with her wheelchair and introduced herself. She asked if I played rummy. I said I did, she produced a deck and we began to pass the time.
    Oh, she had a wonderful way of telling her story. She was born on a ranch in 1890 in Eastern New Mexico, out in rugged cattle country south of Vaughn. Her dad had been disappointed she was a girl and kind of ignored her. Her mom died when she was very young. But, she learned to cook from the ranch cooks and soon made herself useful. She never went to school- there just weren't any. Her dad died when she was 15 and back in those days girls were not expected to know how to run a ranch, so, it sold off and pretty soon she was homeless and needed a job. Women were supposed to marry, but she didn't want that and went on to find a job on a neighboring ranch as the cook...and she stayed there the rest of her life until she became too stove up with arthritis to continue... They put her in the rest home on social security benefits and there she was. She had absolutely nothing in her room but little things the other "guests" had given her. I had an old color TV at home and brought it to her- OMG! She was so happy over that. I paid for cable for her, too- at the time it was only $14.00 a month, so no big deal. My friend finally passed but I would still come and visit her. We traded recipes (You can imagine I was the only one benefiting from that - She was such a great cook and storyteller. I was just fascinated by her.
    One day I came in to see her and they had her up walking hanging onto the handrails in the hall. She was so tired and hurting, but still full of joy- "He, Jay- Look at me. I've walked ten steps today!" I came by a few weeks later and she was gone. They told me she had quietly passed away in the night. No one called me and she was already buried. No one went to her funeral. I went out and put some flowers down on her site, spent $400.00 on a little stone marker for her. Under her name I had them carve, "Ranch Cook". I know she would have been glad of that.
    There is something about ranch life and living that close to the land that just makes good people.

      Thank you for sharing her story. It's incredibly sad to think of the number of people who's stories have been lost to time because no one cared or know to tell/record the history of their lives. Would you mind sharing her name and maybe the cemetery she's buried in? I've been traveling all over for work and would go out of my way to place some flower or donate to the cemetery when/if I'm nearby.

      There's only one way to beat fresh biscuits, gravy, sausage, and eggs for breakfast...and that is to
      add on some fried taters made in a blackened iron skillet! Well..maybe a little homemade jam to go on
      that last biscuit! Well, I don't have to work tomorrow, so I'm off to the store...guess what,'s for breakfast tomorrow!
      And yes I have homemade jam made from Michigan tart cherries, and not do not use biscuits from a tube,
      or sausage from a tube...I go to my local meat market that makes it in house daily! I will let you in on a little secret
      if you promise not to tell Rocky... I like fried squirrel too!

    I love Kent and Shannon Rollins channel and always checks out their latest recipes and use many of their recipes at home. I was raised primarily in the country and still live here after retiring from both the military, and from the state jobs I had. If I had a family to take care of I would not live in an urban environment as it is tough where living in a rural environment is so much better as Nature provides so much for you to live off of and with the money you make for food you can live really good.
