So nice and down to earth story! What is new is the appreciation of food that we should all have.

So well written that I feel myself at the breakfast table enjoying all the tastes. Agreed, Ms. Lopert, best I have read in ages. So uplifting. Thank you and healthy holidays to you. It's a Covid quarantine Christmas for us.

Beautiful memories, I can smell and taste the dishes, feel that early morning quiet, smile and think about the times spent with family
