(12,132 posts)And it was a Texas baptist home - if Baptists don't know anything else, they know how to eat. I can't even begin to remember all the thousands of sunday pot-luck suppers we had after church. We were some casserole eatin' fools.
We also often had visiting Pastors come through town that we would host in the church - often for revivals or even just the sunday night sermon. There was one family that came through fairly regularly (I remember them preaching a few times a year and my mother and step-father even hosted them for dinner at our house once or twice)..they were very popular with the church and they put on a good show with the singing and the preaching but the LAST time they came to our church, the sermon was on gluttony. It was an hour of fire and brimstone on how the body was the Lord's temple and it was a SIN to overeat and make it fat.
Our overweight pastor and his overweight wife sweated and squirmed through the whole thing, smiled and shook his hand when he was done and showed him the door. Never saw that family again. And never heard anyone say they missed them.
I don't miss church but I damn sure miss the food.
