the gravy bowl......

nothing sounded good to eat today.................................so i made popcorn...........................and i grabbed the fried potato-gravy bowl that was used weekly growing up...................................fried foods were a given at our house and this was always the bowl that Mom used...................we either had fried potatoes with something........................................ or biscuits & gravy..........................................Mom did not like to cook very much....(she would rather be sewing)....or anything else............................................But she made the best white cream gravy & fried chicken ..............................................oh i can taste it now...............................can't make it like her at all........................but the memory.................................precious ................................................................... i am blessed!
