Loved every bit of this. Thank you for writing and making me think of my own food memories. Some meals like mama's pork chop spaghetti I still can't bring myself to make. So sorry about your Dad. My mom was diagnosed with Early Onset at 60. It was a heartbreaking season for so many reasons. Praying for the days ahead. Also, why do I now want to actually tackle beef wellington?? ;)
Thanks so much Tarah. I'm so sorry about your mom. It's a very tough time but I'm so happy he's still with us :) Try the Wellington! It's a fun project and it'll still be good even if it has little mishaps
Ha! Not sure I am that brave…. Yet! And yes, enjoy every second of his physical presence. After over 8 years, I thought I was ready for Mom to go but would give anything to have her physically with me. 💜 Sending lots of love Mikala.
Sometimes, you read something so good you wish you wrote it. You read the last line, put your phone or book down, and just sit for a moment. That was this for me. What a gift.
My time machine meal is an Egg McMuffin, just egg with a hash brown in between. I ate that every morning when I briefly lived out of my car in college.
This made me cry on public transit, so thank you for that haha. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
thank you!!

This was so beautiful! Food is so tied to memory it's crazy. And DAMN Fancy Pants sounds good!!
FP is sooooooo good. Could go for it + a 3-hour post-FP nap right about now
To memories.
Lovely essay. I too have lost many people who were once inextricably a part of my daily existence, and the food we used to enjoy together. 💔
This was beautiful- thank you for sharing <3
