Cooking for Momma

Send us Fan Mail"When our mother entered her mid-90s, we noticed her mealtime appetite was languishing. She picked at her food, often eating only half of what was on her plate. I thought back to the meals Momma used to make for my brother and I.  My mind conjured images of boiled shrimp, salmon patties with dabs of mustard on top, and, of course, juicy hamburgers on fresh sesame seed buns, lightly toasted and buttered with a thin spread of Duke's mayonnaise. She topped it off with a slice of red vine-ripened tomato and a pinch of salt. Now that was a flavor bomb.Before fat became a dirty word, food had flavor. I don't recall our burgers tasting like the corrugated box the refrigerator came in—dry and flavorless. Instead, I remember sinking my teeth into a juicy burger that was more than a little messy, with flavorful juices running down the corners of our mouths, making the paper napkin a necessity.I wonder if we've become so preoccupied with fat phobia that we actually believe the fake meat burgers taste as good as grass-raised, grass-finished beef that has never had steroids and antibiotics injected. I think that when we jostle our taste buds with flavor, we can reawaken the joy of family mealtime, and remember to say Grace.”@maddiesremodeling  can be found on instagram.Ben Turner Carpentry, (770) [email protected] see photos of Maddie & Ben’s work on Instagram @westernccainAmerican oil fields Irish Female singer  Rockabilly styleDisclaimer:Cornbread & Buttermilk is all about sharing stories, traditions, and the wisdom of the Southern kitchen and raising a puppy, but we are not medical professionals.
