Sometimes I miss the old days of the computer and internet. You know, when no one had to worry about hackers and viruses. It was such a cool new thing and then some jerks had to come along and ruin it for everyone. Now you have to be careful about viruses and malware and hackers and be paranoid all the time. That just takes the shine right off of everything for me.

Lately I have been craving something sweet after dinner. I don’t know why this is happening. I almost never ate desert when we were growing up, and after I got married the wife was always worrying about losing weight and being on a diet. So the only sweets I got was what I bought at the convenience store while running errands. Now that the wife is gone, I can eat cake if I want it. And I want it!

Have you ever considered the coincidence that on this day in history, the Confederates opened fire on Ft. Sumpter and effectively started the War Between the States? And that also on this day in history Martin Luther King Jr was shot by a crazy man which effectively made him a Martyr?
I think that MLK giving his life to civil rights and peaceful demonstrations was his destiny and purpose, which was completely dishonored the very next day with riots and violence. That although it was a pivotal moment for the American Civil Rights movement, the common people who benefited from his work did not even understand his basic message.

My mother always insisted on preparing a hot breakfast for us kids. Now I do try to eat breakfast every day. But to be hones, I’m not willing to go to all that same trouble of cooking a side meat, eggs in some fashion, plus a bread or pastry and then a piece of fruit. Most summer mornings I’m fine with a bowl of raisin bran. But I do appreciate all the effort that my mother made for us, back in the day.

When I was a kid, we had fried chicken on Sundays. It was just what everyone did. We got up early, went to church, and then we all headed to Grandma’s house for Sunday dinner. All the adult women brought food with them or spent time in the kitchen preparing a big meal for the whole family. While dinner was cooking, us kids would play outside or, if it was raining, we would run around in the basement.
Sunday dinner was usually the best fried chicken you would ever taste, along with home made mashed potatoes and a variety of fresh vegetables and salads. I loved dessert, too. It was often a big slice of pie, but sometimes we would have thenmost wonderful cakes made from scratch.
Ahh. Those were the days of great food and family time.
