there are certain ways that food gets prepared

and i would have always assumed that this is just the way everyone makes these things if my husband didn’t look at me like i had two heads the first time he made any of these NOT in the way i’m accustomed to. i may or may not have reacted innappropraitely.

but my son will grow up knowing that…

• grilled cheese sandwiches taste best squished flat. flat flat flat.
• pancakes too, none of this big fluffy pancake business
• homemade tuna fish sammies go only on toasted bread
• pb&j just tastes better on wheat (honey wheat if you’ve got it)
• potroast tastes best served over white rice (picked up from Mike’s family… everything goes on white rice there)
• garlic bread is the perfect accompaniment to taco salad
• sweet tea is made by boiling the sugar water first
• english muffins get butter and grape jelly when toasted
• certain meats go better with miracle whip, others with mayo
• sweet potato pie is only good when it’s made by the family recipe (many will attest to this)
• boxed brownies are always made with the “cake-like” recipe
