After three days of good home-cooking, Mom's grand finale was a Southern-Ladies-Who-Lunch Tea Sandwich and Tomato Aspic (recipes circa 1966) which is simply a marvel to behold. It's a layered "sandwich" you eat with a knife and fork. Four pieces of bread (two wheat, two white) layered with chicken salad, pimento cheese, egg salad and "iced" with a cucumber-cream cheese spread, topped with an olive slice. The Tomato Aspic tastes like savory Bloody Mary flavored Jello. The sandwich was delish, the aspic, well, let's just say it's an acquired taste.
I know my Mom will be
MORTIFIED that I posted this picture, but as she said, "When you see a lady in curlers, just know she's going someplace
really important after while." Thanks for all you did to make this another special visit Mom. You wrote the book on Southern Hospitality. And you're the prettiest senior citizen I know.
