Speghettios

The last time I was at the supermarket I passed down the canned foods isle and the Speghettios with meatballs called out to me. Tonight I had them for dinner, along with a grilled cheese sandwich – the perfect meal if you’re like 6 years old.

Whenever I think of Speghettios I think of a time in junior high when I went along with my cousin, Dawn, to babysit for some little kid that lived near her family’s home in Fremont, WI. We were all sharing some Speghettios with meatballs for lunch. I remember convincing the kid that the meatballs were made of horse meat. He got so grossed out that he gave me all of his meatballs. Score!

The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home

When I think of grandma I picture her in her kitchen. Even though she is no longer with us, her kitchen still overflows with activity. The kitchen is the heart of her home. Dawn and Rachelle.
