Fine. Make it "Big Breatharianism", then.
Yep...I would nearly guarantee that guacamole wasn’t one of the choices...and lettuce or pickles might be iffy. LOL!
Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))
I hope you and Bo have a lovely day at the lake today! I wouldn’t say you’re gluttonous...BUT there is all that pie! ;)
LOL
Good morning night owl ((HUGS))
Have a wonderful day.
Happy Hump Day! As I recall, regardless of whatever we had to eat for breakfast or dinner there always was homemade biscuits and gravy. Never had grits until I moved to Texas and never did develop a taste for them, although my son and grandson love them with lots of butter and cheese.
We always had a variety of food as long as it was whatever my dad wanted. Cake was always white only with white frosting, no coconut in the house as he would always say “Why would I want to eat shredded paper?”. Kids in my generation ate what was served without complaining. Definitely no snowflakes among us.
Thanks, Beachy! You, too! What’s the agenda around your neck of the woods? Is the sun still shining?
got it
ROTFLOL.
My mom bakes a really good coconut cake. Grits...I learned to like it with butter and sugar and buttered toast. This is the way my inlaws at it. Did you have tomatoes on the breakfast table too?
Sun is shining, but rain heading our way again by Friday, I believe.
With all the rain, it’s hard to plan anything. The boys will be going up to DC for the Rolling Thunder event. Hubby will help his niece move on Saturday. I guess if it doesn’t rain we’ll be grilling.
Do y’all do anything special? Visit with kids/grandkids?
H!!No...I have to work Friday and Saturday. I will be going up there on June 12th. Can hardly wait! I thought hubby and my MIL were going to, but she backed out. I think the long trip and having to deal with her wheel chair at the kids’ house worried her.
She does want to go to Missouri to see her extended family in July, though. I hope to go, too. I might have to demand it.JK...but I’m ready to retire anyway. LOL!
I just associate white beans more with the North and Midwest. Our default setting was always pintos and limas. Damn but I love me some well prepared beans!
I understand what you mean about trying to replicate some of the old recipes. So much has changed. Our tastebuds. Crisco. Also the quality of bread, and a lot of recipes which call for milk would get condensed milk back in the day. It is hard to reconstruct some of those meals.
I’m hungry. I’m going to go make a French press of coffee, and have some beans and cornbread!
Did you have tomatoes on the breakfast table too?”
My husband had to have grits with his eggs for breakfast every morning. When I was pregnant the smell was overwhelming. But, being the “good wife”, I would stir and then run to the bathroom, get sick, run back and stir - rinse and repeat.
When tomatoes began to ripen in the garden, we had them with everything. Still eat sliced tomatoes with my eggs. LOL. We go to the Mississippi Gulf every summer for a week. Was absolutely delighted to find a restaurant with fried green tomatoes and have them at least two meals a day. Best I’ve had in a long, long time. Just can’t seem to be able to make them like the Black housekeeper we had when I was a child.
When cabbage came in, we had fried cabbage or shredded cabbage with mayo every night. Still don’t like it, but do eat cole slaw. Growing up we ate what we grew and canned the rest if we could!

Hey there, sis! Thanks for dropping in! This was a fun quiz. :)
Grits! Ugh! I’d never heard of them till we moved to Georgia. We couldn’t get a meal between Texas and there that they didn’t pile the icky things on our plates. I finally started saying as a habit...no grits!
WOOHOO, tx!! Almost on the move back to the states!!
