Nobody cooks like my mother-in-law! She could give Paula Deen a run for her money any day of the week. Today I think you would have liked being me sitting down to an AMAZING southern, home cooked meal surrounded by family. Eating here on Sunday after church is almost exactly like Thanksgiving without the turkey. There's roast beef (and today pork chops too) creamed potatoes with gravy made from the beef. There's field peas, creamed corn cut straight from the cob, fried okra and of course corn bread and sweet tea.
Get this: She was worried that we might not have enough food. I guess she wouldn't be worthy of being called a true southern woman without a little tizzy over how much food to prepare. After we all ate our fill and then some there was naturally an abundance of food leftover.
Just about the time we are stuffed to the gills and moaning about how we may never need to eat again we hear from the kitchen "I hope ya'll saved room for dessert!!"
Ugggghhhhh!
Sitting around the table with family and telling stories and making memories is what Sunday afternoons ought to be about.
About the time we finally get up and get the kitchen nice and clean along comes a kiddo asking "what's for supper?"
Ding ding! Round 2!
