Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
My pattern during this time of staying in has not really been to prepare new things, but to rediscover old recipes that I hadn't made in a while. My daughter has come here instead of us going out, so we have had some of our family favorite things, like Swedish pancakes, hamburger skillet and creamed eggs on toast. Part of those are family meals from my family of origin and continued on with my family. Almost no company came to my mom's house and stayed without getting Swedish pancakes and it was made by all the aunts on either side when we went to visit. How we eat the pancakes has evolved, but the recipes are really close to each other. That's what we did for our holiday meals as well, things we like or what my daughter requested. Food is a great way to remember family and family times. One of my cousins just posted about strawberry rhubarb jam and that brought back memories of visits to family in Nebraska and in Missouri. One aunt made sure I got a recipe because she said it was one that Erik would eat. So many memories tied to food! For meals here, I have also gone back through things I made earlier, especially when I was entertaining a bit more and things that are too much for one person. That has included Salisbury steak, turkey meatloaf, strawberry dessert and chocolate eclair cake Turkey meatloaf was not a hit so didn't get made again. I have tried some new soups with chicken and enchiladas with chicken. I have done more cooking as I am home more as is everyone. It's fun to get back to things I have done and I'm thankful for the time to. --Carolyn
