Sundays for me have always been a day of rest, reflection and food. My Step Mom was a great cook - large quantities of germanic style cooking. What the woman could do with cukes in sour cream and dill was amazing. We had german style potato salad - slathered in a vinegar and hot oil marinade - with bacon bits (real bacon) and green onions. Pot roast for Sunday with carrots and red potatoes cooked in the beef's juices. Homemade southern buttermilk biscuits and mustard greens. So, so good. Most of it homegrown.
For comfort food this week since both hubby and I are waylaid by a virus, I made tuna and mac casserole with a buttered crouton topping, collard greens simmered in chicken broth, a dab of cider vinegar and brown sugar with some ham hock, sweet potatoes baked slow and soft, everything but the kitchen sink soup (whatever is left over makes soup). We have so many left over today that we eat when we want and as much as we want.
Ahhhh, now for a nap and ballgames :>
