The Most Memorable Meal

The most memorable meal would have to be Christmas dinner of 1997.This meal was the best that I have ever had in my life. I had just graduated from Recruit Training in Great Lakes Illinois. When I walk in to the house, I was overwhelm it was stupendous amount of food. The aroma of the food sent your body into ecstasy. A perfect display of dessert was arrange, mountains of cakes, and pies. Over on a table all alone was a cake that my grandmother made from scratch. It was her famous 5 layer cake, with one bite you are going on a blissful out body experience. Cover in soft whipped chocolate icing, mouth watering buttery yellow cake. The turkey had an illuminating bronze glow the lighted the entire room. It had been stuff with home-made bread dressing. The fragrance of sweet onions, celery, apples, and pineapples dance around the room. My aunt Sandra made her magnificent potatoes salad; it is made with broiled white potatoes, onions, mustard, sugar, eggs, mayo (Duke Mayo), and paprika. You know if from the south you have to use “Dukes”. The potatoes salad had a smooth texture that almost melted in your mouth. Also my mother made this marvelous baked 3 cheese macaroni. It is prepared with a blend of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, pepper-jack, and numerous of other spices. My grandmother prepared collard green with ham hocks. It was a rich green color and season just right. Also she made some of here well known house gray. This was a celebration of triumph, and for them to show how proud they were of my graduation from boot camp. This meal will forever stand out as the most memorable meal ever.
