New experience

After B's Grandpa's funeral, the local Baptist church had a luncheon for the family. Having grown up in a somewhat progressive, somewhat urban Methodist church, this was my first taste of real Southern Baptist church-lady cooking and I was totally fascinated.

Among other casserole dishes, I ate one that was mostly made up of corn, Fritos, and mayonnaise. Just stop to wrap your mind around that for a minute. Corn. Fritos. And mayonnaise.

There were also potato casseroles, spaghetti casseroles and green-bean casseroles. And ham and yeast rolls and salad made with iceberg lettuce. And lemonade and coffee.

For dessert, there was lemon meringue pie, two chocolate cakes, brownies, a strawberry Jello mold, and cherry cobbler.

Fabulous.
