I decided it would be easier to slice and then everyone had to pick off all these little pieces of string. The ham tasted good at least - but it was funny. my first xmas ham I left the string on it and glazed it while cooking – guess what happened – the strings were all sticky and baked into the ham.

The chef was making a rolled meatloaf and I said "I can do that!" So off to the store we went to get the ingredients and I, with a bit of coaching from my mom, made dinner for our family. Almost 20 years later, my mom still tells the story of how I just made that meatloaf. It's now my "specialty!" Enjoyed your stories. This is one of the reasons I love food so much--it contains so many memories! Smell is such a strong scent that just a whiff of something takes me back. I will never ever smell fried chicken without thinking of Saturday mornings at my grandma's house when she'd fry chicken for us to take to the football games.

Reminds me of when I was about 5 or 6 and my Nana let me help her make her famous pickles. I sat on the counter and watched for the most part, but also go to help stir them up. I lost my Nana when I was 8 so I really cherish all the food memories I have of her. I love your stories. Reminds me of when I was about 5 or 6 and my Nana let me help her make her famous pickles.

I went into the kitchen and found a pot of fish heads and other nasty things on the stove and my step-mother-in-law saying how good it was going to be. I almost threw up.

I remember dropping a jar of spaghetti sauce between the fridge and the cabinet. The jar splattered and the sauce shot up between and up the wall and across the ceiling.

I love your stories, both the older ones and the most recent. This is what family memories should be like. There isn't a time that I peel an apple that I don't relive an early childhood memory. I am taken right back to my great-grandma's kitchen. She had a wooden table in the middle of it, just like the islands of today. I can remember her standing at the table, peeling each apple in one continuous long strip and the smell of freshly sliced apples filled the kitchen. She passed when I was just 5 so I must have been a toddler, but I love that memory! Hi, Lori! I love your stories, both the older ones and the most recent.
