Nothing wrong with a good PB&J. My kids always raved about my Dad's when he made it for them-Granpa made the best.
Hope your dad wasn't as picky about the peanut butter as my dad! If you fixed a sandwich yourself you do NOT "stab" the peanut butter with your knife! You run the knife slowly across the top so it all stays nice and flat on top! If he ate some peanut butter and crackers he would carefully run the cracker over the top of the peanut butter until he had enough on the edge of the cracker. THEN he would take a knife and spread it out! lol
Ham and beans with cornbread. Side of fried potatoes. Also another favorite comfort meal is fried catfish, fried potatoes, sliced tomatoes and cornbread.
