Tasting the Past





When family is in town it is time to party.  I remember this meal from my childhood when we used to visit our friends, the Robinson's.   Ivan & Anita lived in California with their kids LaRee, Sharon and Glenn.   I remember Anita's vivacious beauty, she was like a flash of light.  And Ivan was a gentle man that was comfortable to be around.  The kids were a blast and I recall lots of laughter with them.  We loved visiting them and I remember the BBQ'd meals we would have.  I think Anita made London Broil or it might have been brisket.  Then she would make these potatoes with onions and TONS of butter.  Oh, YUM!  The aroma was incredible as we turned onto their street and drove up the hill.  I have tried to recreate the meal the best I could and it is pretty darn good.  But I don't think one can really return to the past with the pallet.  But I can sure try.
