[quote=Anonymous]My grandma’s homemade jellies and pies.

Anything my dad cooked on the grill. He had the magic touch. Nothing was ever dried out or charred beyond recognition or undercooked. Perfectly cooked meat, dripping with juices, every time. Credit to my mom for seasoning everything well.

Cucumber salad made with cucumbers from our garden. I wish I’d liked tomatoes because we always had so many, but I’ve never developed a taste for raw tomato. We ate plenty of zucchini in savory dishes, but we looked forward to zucchini bread every summer.

I remember making chicken and biscuits with my mom as a little kid. I loved cutting the biscuits out of the dough. Once we found out my brother is allergic to chicken, turkey and duck, our poultry consumption plummeted. I don’t think my mom has made chicken and biscuits since I was I was in elementary school.

When I was a kid, my dad introduced me to reuben sandwiches. Once or twice a year, he’d make them for dinner. We lived in a small town in the Midwest where there were no restaurants that served them. I have no idea how he knew about them. Years later, when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my twins, I met up with my parents in NYC and we grabbed a quick bite. I can’t remember what I ordered, but my dad got a reuben and it looked sooo good. I have never experienced such intense order envy as I did at that meal.
