Fried chicken. There’s a good chance that the first meal you ever prepared included your own version of Mama’s fried chicken. Your side dishes likely included at least one of the following: cornbread, greens, beans, mashed potatoes or fried fatback. A first meal is no place to count calories. Those satisfying and simple first meals stand out because you shared them with someone you loved, even if they did go awry. These are the ones that end with the diplomatic friend, fiancé, husband or family member choking down a bad meal, usually without complaint or commentary. Usually. Your first meal was one to remember—whether it was edible or not. —Kim Whorton Tripp, contributing editor |
