Just finished my morning treadmill and was thinking about what I was going to eat at noon today when my 16 hour intermittent fast ends. It made me think back to my favorite meals growing up and decided to see if y'all had a memory of a favorite meal cooked by your mother, grandmother, aunt or other relative or friend. If you happen to have pics include those. I will start with my grandmother's Sunday dinner, after spending an unbearable hour in a small, rural, South Alabama church with no air conditioning.
1.Biscuits and dog bread, a rural South Alabama style of cornbread made with only cornmeal, water, butter and salt.
2.Freshly shelled and cooked butter beans and purple hull peas cooked in some form of meat for flavor (floating in grease).
3.Freshly picked and removed from the cob, cream corn. The cream corn was so thick that the serving spoon stood up by itself in the bowl.
4. Fried okra which I loved, but I would not touch boiled okra.
5. Fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.
6. Fried chicken and a fall apart roast cooked with carrots and potatoes.
7. Pepper sauce
8. Peach cobbler or blackberry cobbler
9. Three layer yellow coconut cake with icing so creamy that it saturated the yellow cake layers.
10. Ice tea so sweet that it could make you wince. As kids, most of us drank some flavor of Kool Aid sweetened with pure sugar.
