Dad, on the other hand, was very much into comfort food. Each Weekend, we’d sit down and enjoy a large batch of Dad’s fried chicken, lovely corn, the creamiest mashed potatoes and if we were lucky, smooth rolls. Occasionally green beans were included too. Oh and cake! There was generally wedding cake or pie for dessert; usually yellow cake with rich, solid chocolate buttercream or my Grandma’s favorite creamy lemon meringue pie. Yes we cherished, loved, liked our sweets.
