Adam spent a summer living in Enoch with Grandma and Grandpa. Over this past weekend, he brought home some groceries and said that he got some things that would make a "Grandma Anderson lunch." Any guesses or recollections of what that would include?
That is one heavenly sandwich. My mouth is watering. . . The first thing that came to my mind in a Grandma Anderson lunch is about a pound of mayo in sandwiches. I think I should be seeing it oozing out over the lettuce. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd is that pepper on the cottage cheese? And what --cheese whiz here and there? It all looks good. John and I would like to invite you to an evening of family history where you can recreate that little plate of goodies and teach us about our forebears. :) We'll cut you a deal: we'll pay for all the groceries if you just come. :)
And nice Wal-mart cups. We have those too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still dying over that sandwich. Pretty darn close to perfection.
But I guess with Adam (and Mary) it would be Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. Isn't Grandma Anderson a Mayo person?
ReplyDeleteNext time, put it all in one comment, Christine. Geez.
ReplyDeleteGrandma is definitely a Miracle Whip person. I remember her once talking about finding an obscure place in Tonga that had Miracle Whip and how happy it made her.
ReplyDeleteA true lunch at Enoch would also have the white/wheat combo bread Grandma makes, some canned peaches, and probably some “homemade” tomatoes as I call them.
As to your offer, we have a counter offer. How about a week of free room and board in the scenic Willamette Valley complete with tours of Eugene’s famous Saturday’s market, a trek through an old growth forest in the Willamette National Forest, pampering by excellent hosts, unlimited cousin-time for the boys, a jaunt to the ocean to see sea-lion caves, tide pools, and a historic lighthouse, a complimentary dozen of Kari’s cookies, unlimited free legal advice, nights of stimulating conversation, and memories that will last forever. All YOU have to do is come. :)
I like it when you make a lot of seperate comments. When I wake up in the morning and find 4 new comments on a post I'd made the night before, it makes me feel like my blog is interesting and worth looking at.
ReplyDeleteWe made the sandwiches in between Saturday's conference sessions. Like you said on your conference post, it is a time for the family to gather in the home. Well, we felt homesick for all of you, and so the sandwiches were to help quench our homesickness.
We'd love to come visit--how about you cover the travel fees and we'll provide the groceries? Or better yet, see Adam's comment above. : )
I need to add that I ran and got the stuff for lunch between conference sessions. I just had to have a pickle after Elder Bendar's talk.
ReplyDeletelol :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that offer is sounding incredible too. This post is all about making John and me want really nice things. That would be so awesome. Adam, do you go to school in the summer too?
ReplyDeleteAnd that destination description by Adam was skillfully crafted! If you ever decide to bag the law thing, consider going into a career of writing resort flyers. :) You're a natural. You touched on every important emotion that a person would want satisfied by a vacation. :) I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteYou're sold? So which week should we plan on you? Anytime after the first week in May would be great for us.
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't be in class this summer, but will be working for a professor on some research. My schedule is pretty flexible, so just let us know and Kari will get going on those cookies... :)
You guys got me looking at flights. . .
ReplyDeleteAdam doesn't mess round when he picks things.... mayo, bread, chips, wife.. you name it, he picks the best.
ReplyDeleteChristine, just let us know when we need to pick you up and where!
ReplyDeleteI have such mixed feelings! A grand is a whole lot of pocket change to spend on plane tickets (or I guess we could brave the road trip of all road trips) but going up there and spending a while with you guys is so tempting. . .
ReplyDeleteNO such thing as "canned peaches" in Grandma house.
ReplyDeleteDAD
And if there is going to be a reunion in Oregon - let us know.
ReplyDeletedad
Dad - When I said "canned peaches" I think I meant bottled peaches. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Christine, money schmoney. We know your loaded. Come enjoy the northwest. I'll sweeten the deal by including unlimited advice on how to survive long road trips or flights with kids. We know some experts on the subject. One thing Kari and I have done is split the driving into two days and stay overnight somewhere. It makes driving easier, stayingin a hotel is kind of fun, and even with the hotel its cheaper than flying, BUT it also means less time at the destination because your taking extra days to drive ...
We love you all!!
Idea- Rob and I will meet you all half way in Fallon for the Fourth of July like we did last year. Remember Teri (the perfect hostess) and the big screen family barbecue?? Steaks, drinks, fresh raspberries on vanilla ice cream. Who can say no to that?
ReplyDeleteOh, and another thing grandma would have with that meal is canned beats.
And everyone loves comments on blogs. It's the unwritten rule that we all secretly hope that everyone will comment on your post.
Sounds great, Mary! We loved hanging out at the Sorensen family big screen BBQ. They're such a cool family...we could come unannounced and I think Teri and everyone would still be welcoming and make us feel like family.
ReplyDeleteP.S. We check the blog all the time just to see if there's a new comment.;)
