Homemade ice cream from that same MS issue.

Homemade burger on the grill… recently Tony began making burgers stuffed with cheese for the girls and they are loving it. The burgers smell so good.

Peaches: really really fragrant, and ripe, fresh; or canned, sliced

Mandarin oranges from the can: a favourite of my baby banana

Giant crispy juicy apple

Hot vanilla steamer: our recipe… hot milk, bit of sugar, dash of vanilla… frothed with our milk frother… sprinkle of nutmeg over it

Cold Vanilla Steamer… above minus the hot part

Frosty glass of cold hot chocolate… a creation of Emily’s

Water really cold water, I happen to love Thunder Bay Water… so from the tap or bottles whichever, just really cold

Frozen lemonade.. something Katherine makes for me… blenderize lemonade concentrate with water and lots of ice…

Pineapple, orange, mango and grapefruit kebabs generous chunks on wooden skewers over tub of ice

Milk flavoured with fruit… cold milk, blender, chunks of ice, fresh fruit of single kind (either strawberry, peaches, or raspberries) whirl… no sugar… just milk fruit ice and blender.

broiled grapefruit …. a memory of the fancy steakhouses my Dad took me to as a kid after Coconut Grove Playhouse theater matinees.

Milk floats… a creation of my Dad’s… he would have me make them for him and I learned to appreciate them in the process… icy cold milk flavored either with strawberry or chocolate syrup, scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and a splash of club soda.

Cold slightly sweet iced tea with a splash of lemon and lots of ice

Salad bar salad…. where you get to get different kids of lettuces, cucumber, bacon, croutons, cheese, sunflower seeds (you know what I am talking about)… and a tip from a friend from the past (Jeri Green) a stripe of bleu cheese dressing down the  middle> surrounded by two splashes of ranch dressing. Jeri would take me to the Seasons Rest at the Falls’ Mall and we would get this… crusty roll alongside please. (Becky and Jenny W took me after her. I don’t remember what they ordered but i am sure Jenny brought her own food even there.)

Fresh ripe juicy tomato slices, fresh leaves of basil shredded, mozzarella balls, rustic vinaigrette salad 

PB & J Sandwich with Lay's Classic Chips... Deerwood Summer Camp, every Friday we went to Mathesons Hammock Park, where every Friday I got a horrible migraine from the heat and they sent me back to camp to rest in Camp Director's Office to rest in a/c. And the lunch available was peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a snack pack of Lay's potato chips. Emily made a sandwich this morning (april 24, 2010,) which I smelled to great delight.

Fresh Strawberries and Cream... another childhood memory. My parents introduced me to fancy hotel brunches where the starter course often was berries and cream. Recently I read a novel, (Lucas Davenport series- Hidden Prey,) where one of the characters had for breakfast... Strawberries with a smidgen of cream. Reminded me of those breakfasts with my parents. I made it for Hannah and me. Delicious. (I still had taste buds then.) Now Hannah is hooked. This morning I smelled hers... stil have a little plate by my bed to enjoy with my nose-smeller.
