She would correct them and say no "My Ta" which became Mata and hence she was always Mata to all her grandchildren. My oldest cousin will tell you that when she was just learning to talk and she her one of my grandmother's friends call her Nita. All the adults used to call my grandmother Nita for short. She was always cooking good food, from my earliest childhood memories. She was my father's mother and lived to the age of 94. My grandmother was named Anita.

I managed to badger her into telling me how to do it so I could cook like her and preserve her recipes for future Dapremonts. Mata shared a common trait with all the old New Orleans cooks and was never one to write down her recipes.

I never liked pasta too much so I would always have her make me some white rice and that was how I ate it. The Dapremont family usually ate it with Vermicelli spaghetti which is a very thin pasta that is a little larger than angel hair pasta. Most people serve this over pasta. I am going to give you her Grillades recipe.

Here it is:
