Call me old fashioned, but I just love the thought of the traditional Sunday supper and the family gathered around on a day of rest. I wonder how many of us still maintain some version of this tradition?
We have a variation of it in my family, and have for around 5-6 years. A niece suggested that those locals who can and want to gather at Grama Helen's, the 86-year-old matriarch, for a potluck-style evening meal on Sundays. Since this is Sunday at Great Grama Helen's we have dubbed it with the nickname SAGGH. The menu is always eclectic and varied, as each cook simply brings what he or she feels like bringing. Sometimes we have four main dishes and no sides, or only appetizers and a dessert. Once two different families brought prime rib!! We do try to communicate by group text so these things don't happen too often but no matter what the spread, it's always a meal, a board or card game, and good family visiting.
Do you have a Sunday meal tradition? Or maybe you have a memory of weekly gatherings you can share. |
