Mashed potatoes and corn bread. No gravy. Heck is wasn't until high school that I found out on a school lunch that rice came with gravy. Ate at home with salt and margarine. Still loves my taters and corn bread!

We used to have a city truck drive through the projects everyday and bring us a sammich. One piece of white bread, one piece of wheat bread, slice of velvetta, slice of bologna. Got a milk and cookie in cellophane too!

I still like milk and cookies, does that count?

Gravy is the bomb!!! Cheap to make and it makes most everything better.

Fried potato sandwiches during lean times and when my Father's paycheck was fattened by unfathomable overtime that he worked when offered, sometimes a trip to Rio Vista on Memorial Drive - all you could eat catfish, hushpuppies and french fries -

Cornbread and Buttermilk were sometimes meals - we didn't have air conditioning so in the summertime, homemade milkshakes and Ritz crackers were a respite from the heat.

There was no 24x7 news channel and if you were a Braves fan, you could watch them lose live and in rerun on the Superstation - Bill Tush made it palatable.

I recently played golf with Gary Matthews, a Braves hero from the 70's......

Spaghetti noodles, butter, and Parmesan. First thing I learned how to make myself at the age of about 7.
