My Father made this one up. My Mother would make something and she would say,I don't think it came out right and my wonderful,dear, thoughtful Father would be so nice to say to her,I will eat it,if it kills me.  My Mother hated that saying.  :D I can still hear him say it.

Yet your mother would keep saying "I don't think it came out right" just so she could hear "I will eat it if it kills me".   
Maybe your father was just trying to let her know he didn't like hearing her say "it didn't come out right" and didn't dare express that thought.  ;)
Good smart 'ol dad was going to eat whatever she fixed, and knew better than to complain about it.  ;D

"Good enough for who it's for"  when finishing a project.

Pretty much my stock answer for anytime a boss asked what something looked like after I finished it, "Looks good from my house." Was working a job in Terre Haute Indiana when I gave a boss that answer. "You can see it from your house? Where is your house at?"

"Baton Rouge, Louisiana."

I heard this on "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" but pretty sure it has been around a lot longer than that. "You ain't no kind of man if you don't have land." Might not be quite true but having owned land free and clear a few times it sure does make the place feel a lot more like home and makes me feel a lot more grounded in more ways than one.

Dunno if that's a common one, but I remember a good ol' WW2 vet that used to say it a lot.   :D
