Naw, just Sunday dinner at Grandma Susie's, any Sunday that several of the aunts and cousins decided to go visit the Old Home Place. The main dish would usually be fried chicken. Often some chicken stew ("chicken and dumplings") and occasionally Irish stew ("beef stew with tomatoes"). Creamed field corn (animal-feed quality, not the on-a-cob sweet corn) in season. If one of the homeboys had been lucky, some stewed squirrel and/or some fried gar or crappie or chinq-a-pien. Holidays, there'd be a turkey and/or a ham or two - along with Aunt Mary's pecan pie, Gramma's egg custard pie, "fried pies" made from rolled-out canned Pillsbury biscuit dough and stewed persimmons or stewed store-bought dried fruit folded and pinched up like a Hostess Fruit Pie then fried very hot in shallow fat for just enough to turn golden brown. After dinner (the noontime meal) and a little restin' on the front porch and chewin the fat, the youngsters would be sent across the road to pick peas or beans or corn if it was ready, and the middlin-old would sit and shell peas or beans or whatever needed tendin'. Slowly. No air conditioning out on the Old Home Place until about '80 or '82. Grandma Susie passed in '83. |
