I feel that it was good training. Plus, we needed to appreciate how hard Father worked to put the food on the table:-)Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015642512286126041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-66193667823642769032010-08-16T16:35:32.817-05:002010-08-16T16:35:32.817-05:00This brought back lots of memories.

We had fried cornbread with them and lots of pepper sauce..yum.<br />The relish, chow chow, peppers, pickles, and jelly were always on the table. My brother and I loved grape jelly on our corn bread + lots of butter.<br />Such happy memories....thank you so much!nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627958113283042574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-55013656805550510862010-08-16T09:42:12.671-05:002010-08-16T09:42:12.671-05:00I think that is why kids wanted a family dog so ba...I think that is why kids wanted a family dog so badly, not for the love of a pet but someone to feed your icky suppers to under the table.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-83956040733943981202010-08-16T09:07:15.485-05:002010-08-16T09:07:15.485-05:00This post brought back memories!

One small bite past my lips and I knew. And she knew I knew. YUCK! But I sat there and I ate it. No complaining allowed. Oh, the memories from childhood.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-2900169246206644142010-08-16T06:44:44.352-05:002010-08-16T06:44:44.352-05:00What memories this post brought back.

Mom didn't make us clean our plates, guess we just did it but I remember a couple of friends who would sit at the table for an hour or two trying to down it all. You write very well and I enjoyed reading this! Those were the days for sure when the phone didn't interrupt meal time!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158336083462589188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-63943770635019939892010-08-16T06:22:42.706-05:002010-08-16T06:22:42.706-05:00That photo really brought back the memories, it co...That photo really brought back the memories, it could have come from one of our kitchens.
