1950s Sunday dinner

Saturday evening Mama would cook Sunday dinner.
Her Mama taught her it was a sin to work on Sunday.

I remember my sister ironing all her clothes.
We put everything out Saturday night.

Sunday after church, Mama would reheat everything she cooked.
Beef pot roast with gravy and vegetables, rice for the gravy, fresh green beans seasoned with salt pork, sweet tea with lemon and strawberry shortcake.

Sometimes she’d make cherry or blackberry cobbler.
Memories of Mama cooking still make my mouth water.
