My dad always cooked a big dinner on Sundays. (My grandmother lived in FL)
Now I do. I love cooking, and weekends give me the hours I like to spend doing it.
I'm fryin' a ton on chicken today!

You were a lucky child! My grandmother had a massive stroke in her early 50s and was unable to cook a big meal for us. She made the best Snow Icecream though. We brought in a bowl of fresh snow and she mixed chocolate with it and we had chocolate snow ice cream. We did go to aunts and uncles houses for Christmas and that was a feast, I remember a whole table loaded with homemade pies! YUM! I miss my grandma. She would have been 100 by now. She was a saint. My only regret is that I didn't go visit her MORE OFTEN in the nursing home.

Pot Roast, Fried Chicken, or Baked Ham. My grandmother used to make all three when we visited her one Sunday a month when I was a kid. Her fried chicken was out of this world. And she'd have about 10 different side dishes, all with a stick of better in them and three or four choices of dessert.
Oh, those were the days...

My grandmother made fruit-cocktail cake, and cottage potatoes... she was from Canada. Then, after dinner, we kids would rollerskate in her basement. :)

Fried Chicken, Pasta, Meatballs, Beer and Hot dogs -- either way the meaning seems the same.
My father, and uncle were both wounded in WWII and both suffered through life with tremendous problems, yet both did manual labor and raised good kids and never complained. Both made sure their families stayed close with each other, and our grand parents. Sunday's was the way they achieved our closeness. Most kids today, would be in shock if they spent one Sunday at grandma's house.

My favorites were the peach cobbler and homemade peach ice cream.

Granny made marrow dumplings for stew and Gramma made "Slippery Jim" hot cinnamon pickle spears neither of which I have had for 50 years. I can still taste them.

My grandmother lived really close by and I would spend most Sat. nights over and we would go to the early Mass on Sunday morning. After church it was time to cook, aunts, uncles and cousins. My grandmother could whip up an apple pie from scratch in the time it takes me to make a salad. Oh, and the men would watch sports, so of course we had to also, my sons are amazed at how much trivia I know.

My grand parents lived about 20 miles away. On warm days we (the kids) would ride in the back of my dad's 1940 red Ford pickup truck. The roads in south Georgia were bumpy and dusty, but never remember a bad ride.

I have dinner with my Aunt (and before he died, my Uncle) every Friday night. He had years of heart problems, and congestive heart failure, so the menu was occasionally chicken, but usually fish - most of the time, salmon... He told my Aunt that I had told him how much I hate salmon (which I never did!) He was just sick and tired of it!
One weekend, she went out of town, so I told her that I'd pick up some dinner, and bring it in with me. She wasn't too crazy about it, but said it was OK. After she had left town, before I went to pick up dinner after work, I called him to ask what he wanted... "Popeyes Chicken!" was what he desired.
Because he had been ill, he ate tiny portions. Well, that night, he had 3 pieces of chicken, dirty rice, cole slaw, red beans and rice, AND mashed potatos and gravy! I also picked up a few bottles of ale for the two of us. I hadn't seen him eat tham much in years, and he really enjoyed it.
We had a lot of fun that night, and my Aunt gave us both a lot of trouble about it, but after he died (not as a direct result of that meal! It was about 6 months later), she told me that he had talked about that dinner for weeks, and it really perked him up, and made him feel better.

You ever figure out why Italians serve salad last? They treat it like a palate cleanser. Odd.

Popeye's Spicy Chicken, and dirty rice is one of my favorite FF meals. In fact, that sounds like a good idea for an afternoon full of football.

Hey, salad's not food, it's what food eats!
