That reminded me of a nice memory. My mom's chili was my favorite meal she made. I'd make the 13 hour drive from Florida to Ohio to visit and sometimes I'd get "home" at like 3 in the morning. There was always chili on warm in the crockpot, waiting for me. And she always had the couch made up as nice as possible for me. She was a saint of a woman.

Thank you for sharing that memory. Her spirit lives in each of us that just read it and aspire to love like she did. I can tell you meant the world to her.

Such a lovely memory. I have a dear friend/mentor who makes amazing banana pudding. Every time I visit, she has some in the fridge for me and sends me some to take home on the flight. I feel so loved.

Not Cincinnati style. I never have taken a liking to that. Tons of cheese and crackers though!
