Wonderful memories from when I was young(er)
When I was young (late teens/early twenties) my former
(first) father in law use to be the "cook" in the house, it was
truly HIS kitchen.
Sunday morning was always his big breakfast day, and in the
summer he would always make bacon and/or sausage gravy
using the drippings from said meat. He also made biscuits, eggs,
hash brown potatoes, sliced up a cantaloupe.
He spent several years trying to convince me to try cantaloupe
with gravy on top, it just sounded yuck to me, finally one day I
gave in to try just a (very very SMALL) bite. From that day on
I was hooked on it.
It has been a few years since I had any, and this morning I woke
up and remembered I had a fresh Rocky Ford melon in my fridge.
So can you guess what I made for breakfast (for myself only hubs
won't eat it). Yep I cooked bacon, made gravy and had my beloved
melon with gravy.
Cheers "Papa Fish" (can't believe he has been gone nearly 22 years).
Now back to the kitchen for seconds.
Have a great weekend everyone.
