The "I Really Miss That" or "I Haven't Had That In Years" Thread

My mom made the best home fried potatoes I ever had in my life. I don't know how she did it, but they were awesome with a couple of over easy eggs mixed in. Never been able to duplicate them.

And my grandma made a chicken fried steak that was the same way, just incredible. Never found any other that came close. She made the most killer pies too.

Oh, and mom's homemade chicken noodle soup, oh Jesus. She made her own noodles.....made a big batch of dough, rolled it out flat, then sliced up these big, thick, fat noodles. Oh lawdy that was good! Same with the chicken and dumplings.

Oh, and the best cheeseburgers in the world IMO are in my hometown.

Bacon Grease AND Garlic, is the only way to do any kind of home fry, hash brown etc. along with peppers, onions, and garlic.

I know what you mean. Our grandmother made a world class lemon meringue pie, every thing she cooked was from scratch. Even watching her make them, no one ever came close.

I believe part of family cooking was the comfort level of being in their home. We'd do thanksgiving, or Christmas in the 2 bedroom apt her and my grandfather raised 6 kids. Between the kids, her grand kids and in-laws there would be 28 people eating. Adults in the boys room, kids in the hallway. Never a complaint, never an argument. Something pop up, she'd be there with her hands balled up asking who wants to be first, in that thick off the boat irish accent.

She died while cooking dinner, always in the kitchen.

Damn we miss you gramma.

I saw that an H Mart was in Parker! I'll swing by there and check it out. Thank you!

I'm originally from Colorado but spent a ton of my youth in the south and I sure do miss Bojangles and Zaxbys chicken. Why those restaurants don't make their way out here is beyond me.
