It has been awhile since I've been on blogger. I am off for the summer and I figured it was time I came back. Working at an elementary school sure helps me get through each day. I only told a few of the kids what had happened to my parents. We are doing okay, just trying to get through one day at a time. My parents were the best at creating a strong close family, we think about them everyday. I miss them so much it really hurts. I know that there are no words that can even come close to express how we feel, and I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support.
I am back with a new computer and an internet service that now works...it should make things a lot easier.
This one is for my dad...I would like to come back with one of my dad's favorite breakfast sandwich...peanut butter and pickles on toasted bread.
Really...don't knock it until you try it! The last time I was with my dad he would fix himself this and had it for breakfast. When I was a kid we would eat this as a sandwich for lunch, but seeing my dad make this reminded me of it again, so I have been having it for breakfast too.
I even used the plates that we had when I was a kid, my mom gave the dishes to me a few years ago. Ahhh brings back such good memories. I love vintage dishes and have been collecting many mid century dishes made in the USA. I will be sure to share my finds some day.

Coming back to the sandwich...I would bring this to school where my morning job is monitoring breakfast in the cafeteria. They would always check out what I would bring in to eat for my breakfast. They would wrinkle their noses at this. Hey I thinks it's better than when they put chocolate milk on their Frosted Flakes!
The only difference from my dad's sandwich is he used his homemade bread and made his own peanut butter. I did a post a long time ago on his peanut butter. He knew how to make it right!
Lovely post and it is so amazing how the tastes of childhood bring us back to earlier days. This post has me thinking about a fav childhood sandwich my mom used to make me: seeded Italian bread with fresh mozz, fried in olive oil! Have a beautiful weekend--
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jenn, and thanks for sticking with me through tough times! Your mom's sandwich sounds amazing...of course they are better with the memories.
DeleteI am so sorry, I missed your post in January and had no idea. I'm glad that you are coming back to blogging and sharing with us again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam, it is just so unbelievable, just taking it one day at a time.
Deletehi lyn, was delighted to see your comment this morning and glad to know you are doing fine. When we miss someone so much, we tend to do things that they do, and sometimes listen to their fav songs too, dont we? have a lovely weekend, cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lena, yes I've been doing a lot of things that my parents did...helps to not miss them so much. Of course we did what our parents told us too anyway! :)
DeleteWelcome back, Lyndsey. I love homemade peanut butter...and your sandwich looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, it's nothing special except for all the memories it brings.
DeleteDearest Lyndsey - welcome back. I missed your kind and thoughtful words and inspiring recipes. I know things are getting better, day by day.
ReplyDeleteA big hug of love and comfort and prayers.
Thank you so much Ozoz. Hugs and prayers are much needed and appreciated.
DeleteHi Lyndsey, Nice to see you back to blogging. I love your vintage plate and the homemade peanut butter sandwich. Looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
BIG ((HUGS))

Thanks Ann, it's nice to get back into it, and a little scary. The sandwich is not for everyone, but it makes me smile thinking of my dad when I eat it.
DeleteMy heart is so heavy coming back to your blog and reading your last post title, remembering the horrible incident happened to your parents. I'm happy to know that the criminal is arrested. I just cannot believe all this thing happened to you, really. :( I'm sure you went through a lot and now have more time to yourself to blog again, but if you ever need anything, or need someone to talk to, feel free to chat with me. :) Sending my thoughts and prayers to your way. Very nice recipe to come back to blogging. Love the whole thoughts on the sandwich and plate and all, which made me cry a bit. Tight hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Nami, that was so special, thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it. Sometimes it really helps to talk about it, but I don't want to make people feel uncomfortable. We still can't believe it either. Now we just have to get him charged with their murders and get through the trial...no word yet. (your comment made me cry a bit too) :) I can use the hugs!
DeleteNo words can describe what you are going through I guess, I shuddered when I read about it. Glad you are on the mend...this sandwich must hold real special memories for you. Chin up:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeannie, I have always brought my family in my posts and there will be many more to come with my mom and dad. Believe me I know no words can even begin to describe what you go through when something like this happens. But we have to move on and live each day to it's fullest because you just never know!
DeleteGood to see you back on track, Lyndz! ((hugs)) It takes time. So, just take it easy. Looking forward to more tasty food from your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWill write soon. Take care & have a great week ahead dear.
Blessings, Kristy
This look delicious Lyndsey, and a nic etribute to your Dad.

Hello, Lyndsey!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to have you back!!!
Your loss is indescribable, but you are a strong person. I think of you and your parents often, and you are in my prayers.
This is a fitting tribute to your dad, and yes, I remember those sandwiches from my childhood. It was one of the few things my brother could make for lunch when he had to fend for himself. It's just guy food!
God bless, and welcome back!!!
Dear Lyndsey, I am very sorry for your loss and your hurt. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not my kids and I ate this a lot during the time we spent without a kitchen after Hurricane Sandy. You become very creative without a kitchen!! It is best with bread and butter pickles.
I will think of your dad now when I have this.
I will keep you in my prayers.
Blessings and hugs, Catherine xo
