Sunday traditions in my grandmother's household (I've lived with her since 1991) is a Sunday fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side vegetable like corn or snap peas. Even though she has been moved into a dementia care unit, I still try to hold onto that tradition. I take the chicken out of the deep freeze Saturday evening to thaw and start baking (or roasting) it early Sunday morning, usually after the Sunday morning talk shows are done.
good for you! I like the idea of tradional meals on various days.. Our family never had that as I recall. I do remember the idea of fish on Friday(even though we werent' catholic).. it seemed that growing up Fridays was fish day. Mom would buy the frozen packages & bread them up(the threee layers of breading) and pan fry them.. served with mash pot & various veggies & we almost always had a salad with every meal.
Do you ever take a plate of the Sunday Fried chicken Dinner to your grandma?
What type of oil do you use to fry the chicken?
