It saved her a lot of thinking and planning, and since she was caring for her bed-bound mom downstairs, as well as for her widowed bro' and his daughter downstairs, she could do with a break anywhere, anytime. So, it was eye-opening on many levels to dine at my Mormon best friend's house. My first night there, I was whispered by friend to put some of my (first ever) tossed salad back, as it had to feed all 11 of us. :-) Embarrassing! <br /><br />Somehow, I ended up with two sets of two kids and a number of homeless individuals through the years. And still. I'm still trying to get used to sitting around the table every night, and I have squawked about cooking every night these 26 years and even moreso about dishes, but folks really can't imagine how <i>dearly</i> a real home-cooked supper around the table is held. It is no less than a Godsend. It heals and connects and cements as well as feeds. May God forgive me every squawk!Carolnoreply@blogger.com
