Those foods that have a story behind them. Do you know what I am talking about? Tonight I made two things that have a story.
My Grandma Olive’s potato salad. The best there is. Made with mashed potatoes, miracle whip, black olives and other standard potato salad ingredients. But it isn’t your typical potato salad. We don’t actually have a recipe because she always just threw it together perfectly. And my rendition tonight was pretty close. Each bite was delicious and reminded me of my grandma!
I also made what we call Aunt Janet’s chocolate cake. One summer while we visited California, Aunt Janet made us about 3 of these cakes during our weeks stay. It is the best cake and tonight reminded us why we LOVED it then and still LOVE it now.
Sometimes food brings you joy in more forms than just taste. Tonight it tasted amazing but brought back memories and feelings.
