A dinner you miss from when you were a kid

[teachercd]

I will start, I miss (now, at the time I hated it) my mom making meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and some corn.  

 

Of course, had to put ketchup on the meatloaf.

Chicken and rice. Ive made it way better as an adult than my dad did, not gonna lie, but I loved when he made chicken and rice.

After Sunday fried chicken (home grown) mom always make homemade noodles for chicken and noodles. Carrots and peas in it. Ate over mashed potatoes...lotsa starch but man oh man was it good.

Beanie Weenie with Wimmers wieners. (say that fast three times ). Its the stupidest easy thing to make but I don’t think Ive had it once since last my mom made it 40 years ago.

 

The two things I miss the most is my Grandma’s fried chicken and pan fried carp.

I prob make that meal 3-4 times per year. Just get a craving for it now and then.

Do you ever notice how much meatloaf you can eat?  Like, it is not just one slice.  It is a lot.

My mom's fried chicken mashed potatoes and her gravy.  Her fried chicken is well known in my home town as being awesome.  She won't ever be making it again.

Did she go vegan?

No, she's elderly and can't do it anymore.

Bummer!

 

I work with a lady that went full vegan, like over night.

One meal I don't miss as a kid was chipped beef (with gravy) on toast, better known as SOS.  I couldn't stand this when my mom would make it.  I remember she tried to give this to me as a 4-year old and I just spread it around all over my plate like I was eating it.  I am sure when it's done well it's really good, but I wasn't having it as a kid.

 

On a fonder note, when I was a kid, my dad would poach eggs for breakfast on Tuesdays.  He knew I didn't like poached eggs because the yolks would get too firm.  So, with his special egg poacher he would make me a couple of soft boiled eggs and serve it with toast.  I would be in heaven as I took my toast and sopped up all the runny yolk goodness of the soft boiled egg.  It's one of my favorite memories of my dad, and as one of 5 boys, it was cool that he was willing to do something special just for me.

I loved both chipped beef SOS and soft boiled eggs with toast. Thanks!

Frozen salisbury steak.  Remember that mystery meat with brown gravy sauce/grease?  It was delicious and went well with mash potatos, corn and glass of milk. 

 

Tried it 5 years ago, it was not that great as I recall

But, I think that's the reason why I love the mcrib.  It's like the bbq version of salisbury steak (similar, kinda, sorta).

I totally forgot about the salisbury steaks!

Carp done right is pretty good,  best fried in beef lard
