Food For My Soul
Well thinking and remembering people. Umm. I had the urge to make some potatoes smothered in onions, sweet corn on the cob and some fried chicken yesterday. It is a meal my grandfather used to make often. He called the potatoes Southern Fried Potatoes. I began to think about him and the more I thought about him the more I wanted those potatoes, I miss them and him. To be truthful I miss a lot of his cooking he did it everyday. I was laying on the couch and I jumped up and asked the kids if they wanted the same thing. Their reply was yes of course. This ended up being a meal that touched my soul. You wonder how don’t you…
Well on Sunday my Apostle preached about how we feed ourselves and our children. All of the fast food, pizza, burgers, etc all because we are either to lazy to want to cook or to busy to stop and have a healthy meal. I am so guilty of that and apostle was all in my business I said to one of the sisters after service. That word was for me I so need t learn how to feed my family more healthy food than fast food. Cause I will tell anybody that we are a fast food family. And not to make any excuses about it but it is mostly because I had been sick and at a point where I was to sick to cook in the kitchen. Anyway I knew I needed to change that at the end of the day on Sunday.
Back to my potatoes and chicken. So I called my hubby on his way home and asked him to take me to get some potatoes. I have not peeled them in years. I got what I needed from the store and came home and started preparing the food. I got the kids in on it helping me cook which they like to do. All 3 of them. It was fun to be in the kitchen cooking as a family and I think it made the food taste that much better to us all. The kids and my hubby were so happy when I was done cooking. The kids talked about it all night. I made that meal with my heart and pleased my soul to make them happy. It is hard to explain the joy I felt just from cooking food for my family. It made me want to do it everyday just to have that feeling again. Ohh I gotta go I have t get my pork chops and salisbury steak out of the oven and make my rice and gravy! Its time to eat!
