Katandra Shanel's Blog: Life Is Just Awful. Ain't It? - Posts Tagged "sunday"

It's customary in the South for the family to gather at a mutual meeting ground to 'fellowship' for Sunday dinner. Usually at an aunt's or grandmother's house. The aroma of skillet cornbread sweet in the air, mingled with the waft of field peas and ham hocks, fried chicken, and a pot of rice. Sitting in the sill, sweet potato pies cool as they await for dessert. I have carried this tradition over into my own home. My children have come to look forward to it just as I did when I was a child. Living in Atlanta has put a slight spin on this tradition and I gladly mix the two worlds, finding a wonderful balance to please all. And although I love the familiarity of my own childhood, I must confess, it is a tedious procedure. This is day 3 of my hiatus and it's quite unfortunate that it must fall on a Sunday. Instead of the expected i'm opting for quick and easy. Bacon, grits, eggs, biscuits, and french toast. Today i'm breaking protocol. I bet if my mother knew it'd break her heart. So mums the word ;-)
