On December 26 Tom, Tommy and I drove home to Columbus from Seaford, Delaware, after our Christmas visit with my mom (see posts from 12/26/2017 - 12/29/2017).
For us the high point of the trip home from Delaware is always dinner along the way in Cambridge, Ohio, at the Forum, an awesome Greek/Italian restaurant,
...Tom's grilled salmon, |
...and my tuna steak. |
You pull off a crispy onion petal, dip it in the sauce and wham, your eyeballs roll back and you're in Flowering Onion Nirvana.
...followed by a visit to my sister, Romaine, who I met up with in San Diego. |
..."chicken on the bone," as my grand daughters call my oven-fried chicken, their favorite, |
...pizza, of course, |
...pot roast |
...with a pot of red skin mashed potatoes to ladle the gravy over, |
...warm rolls, |
For one crust: Cut 1/4 cup Crisco (or in this case, butter, as there was no Crisco in my daughter's pantry - can you imagine?) into 1 cup of flour then add just enough ice water for the dough to form into a ball, |
...being careful to handle the dough as little as possible. |
Tom spent much time washingpots and pans. |
We also spent considerable quality time shopping at Ralph's, |
...with our helpers, |
...and, of course, one's grand dog, |
...or for some fun, |
...fondly remembering those good old days when we were like them, young, happy, |
...and exhausted. |
