In Observance of Cole Slaw
My Mom made great cole slaw
Fresh ingredients
Chopped perfectly
Consistency right on
I was always thrilled when she made it
Told her often how much I liked it
She didn’t make it often
But when she did ….
Only 2 places equal hers
One is across the street
I don’t try to compare anymore
Just look to the heavens and smile

There was nothing like my grandmas potato salad. My sister has gotten it as close to grandmas as humanly possible. But it’s hard when she never measured anything and my sister is going on taste memory alone!
I make homemade coleslaw to smother bbq pulled chicken. It’s sooo good.
By the by, I also make a warm bacon slaw that’s to die for (I think so, anyway).
Love this walk down memory lane.

Wow, that warm bacon slaw sounds phenomenal.
I think bacon is the only processed meat product that I consume and it’s not often. I like it fatty and slightly undercooked. Maybe 4 times a year.
Altar boy ?? Hardly
Thanks for validating with your own stories E.

There's nothing like mom's. For me it's her potato salad. For my kids, it's my pumpkin pie. (Heck, even I prefer my own pumpkin pie to anyone else's. 🙂)
This is a sweet and tasty write. I do love your introspective pieces.

Hey PS
What a sweet write:)
I love to cook.
Consistency in chopped fresh salads matter.
Otherwise it feels awkward when trying to chew and eat.
Texture matters in food. At least for me:)
Love my moms homemade biscuits that I just
snagged from her freezer literally 10 min. ago. hehehe
Fixing to warm up in my oven and have that smell of fresh baked bread.
Handed down from my grandmother.
Also fresh tortillas with butter.
Bacon needs to be crunchy for me.
Completely cooked!!! LOL
Loved this!!!

That's the beauty of writing poetry
Seeing something and being able to turn it into a story people can relate to ...

Nothing beats like the family recipe and homemade. It triggers the best memories and appreciation for those you love.
BIG LIKE. It's a heart warming piece.
