Avenida had a tea for the ladies a couple weeks ago and one of the ladies ask the group what were some of the things we rememebered from years past. Someone mentioned that they always had just plain sliced bread on the table at every meal, to which we all agreed that our homes had the same. Fast forward to today and when I was trying to figure out what to have for dinner, I remembered how good sliced bread always tasted with gravy! So tonight we relieved days gone by with fried chicken baked with gravy, rice and sliced bread with gravy, fried okra and a fresh tomato just because it made the plate look pretty! They didn’t have much flavor but added color to the southern meal! We both enjoyed the familiar flavor of just good ole sliced bread with gravy! Brought back so many memories….one of which was my mom always saying “Trudy K no more, you have already had 3 slices! You don’t need anymore!” And that is maybe why one of my nicknames was Ms Pleasingly Plump!
