After all the hellos and hugs
Grandma went into grandma mode…..feeding us! The first question out of her
mouth after all the hellos was ALWAYS “You want a ‘toe-mah-toe’ sandwich?”
Mostly she asked this of BigBro but I got in on the deal.
Toasted tomato sandwiches on
homemade bread (sliced slightly thicker than store bought bread) with vine
ripened tomatoes from their garden. In all my life, before or since, I have
never had a sandwich that tasted as good as Grandma’s! And they kept coming! I
don’t remember what BigBro’s record was, but I’m sure he put a significant dent
in their tomato supply.
For my special treat Grandma
made cinnamon toast for breakfast. Every morning of our visit I got to have
cinnamon toast. And eggs! (keep in mind, as a kid, I was supposedly
allergic to eggs….among other things. And Grandma conveniently ‘forgot’ all my
restrictions.)
Now THAT’S love….feeding your
grandchild food that could possibly have detrimental effects…..amiright?????
Well, yes! That's why grandma's sometimes slip a bit of chocolate into their little mouths.
