Favorite Recipe and fond memories
As far back as I can remember Mom gave us our choice of dinner for our birthdays. Mine was always Lasagna, not just any Lasagna but Mom's. She used real homemade pasta with five different kinds of cheese. Her homemade sauce, well I can drool right now thinking about it. Something about that smell and homemade bread is just so warm.
My birthday being in December and so close to Christmas that mom felt bad. She couldn't afford a birthday party but I was allowed one friend for dinner on that day. Lasagna was special because I know how much work she put into it and with the bread that she made herself was a priceless gift to me. On a cold day walking home from school I could smell all of it wafting half up the lane way. Precious memories are revolved around food when it comes my family.
I still to this day ask for that dinner. Mind you mom can't make bread any longer but she still makes a great feast of Lasagna. I think we all have that certain dish that takes us back to fond memories. Cooking this dish is something I do but it will never replace my mother's. Her other dish in our family is the Trifle .. layers and layers of fruit, cream and cake.. dreamy for any occasion.
