Mashed potatoes with my grandmother's white chicken gravy...and watermelon...and my mother couldn't cook worth a darn but she could bake, and once a year she made these little pecan ball cookies rolled in powdered sugar while they were still hot. I used to love those.

I don't ever eat that gravy now, because I don't really eat fried chicken, and you need the crispins and bacon fat to make her gravy, and real cream, which I can't eat, but I still like mashed potatoes made without dairy products...and I still love watermelon.

I know that feeling of not being able to eat all those things we use to. @4meAndyou

@rjc36 Yeah. My grandfather was a farmer, and a chain smoker, and he ate bacon and fried foods and bacon fat and cream and lived to age 93...😂. But you know, I don't work on a farm, and I would soon be as tubby as one of my female cousins used to be if I ate the same diet.
