Growing up, we went to my great grandmother's house every Sunday after church. Fried chicken was on the menu every week, and I now make really good fried chicken.

She lived in a farmhouse that had a rather small kitchen. I can remember the layout exactly. How all the women in the family fit in there to cook is now quite the mystery since there was not one inch of countertop in that kitchen.

Tons of food every week, and we seemed to take shifts eating at the dining room table. It was a much larger room than the kitchen with a huge table, china cabinet, and a buffet where all the desserts were on display. Chocolate cream pie and applesauce cake come to mind.
My husband's Sundays were similar in New York with the menu consisting of Sunday gravy and pasta.
Sunday gravy, of course, is red spaghetti sauce--not the same gravy as here in Kentucky that we put on our mashed potatoes. Pastries from the bakery were their preferred dessert. We grow our own parsley, oregano, and basil for the homemade "gravy" every year.
