This evening we went to Aunt Gen and Uncle Marvin’s for dinner.
Fried Okra
Beans and Pear Relish
Coleslaw
Cornbread
Marinated grilled chicken
Mashed potato casserole
Carrot Cake
For those of you who are curious, yes, I ate the chicken. It tasted like tempeh.
We had a grand time there, and I heard some stories about Mom that I’d never heard before. Apparently when she was very young, she had a high fever. High enough that she was hallucinating. So, in the middle of the night, she got out of bed, went into the kitchen and got a butcher knife so she could kill her older sister.
Somehow, I’m really glad I didn’t know this story when I was growing up.
