I couldnt help but think of this story after reading others stories about food --food for thought ?
Many years ago to many to put a number on .My family lived in the a remote area of alaska .When you made supply trip to town the list was well prepeared in advance . All things need for summer or just monthly supplies .
My wife could bake a german chocolate cake from scratch .this was a treat for all .I would go to glacier for ice {glacier ice is the coldest ice known }We would Break out the hand cranked ice cream machine .what a treat !
At this time i had a freind that i didnt see very often months would pass .But when he did show up we would have a kings dinner ,moose steaks bbq'ed, fresh garden greens and german chocolate cake with fresh made ice cream.
We lost touch with my freind for two years .One day we were thinking of my freind . We decided to have bbq.along with garden greens. Our thoughts all day were of my freind .My wife make her best german chocolate cake .fresh made ice cream .Our day was a merry day of family fun ,Rare day when you live remote.
Dinner was ready .The smell filled our home.Table was set .Dinner bell was rang. As we were saying grace .our thoughts and prayers were of our freind missed so much .
From the distance wind the sound of some one whisling a tune became closer. It was our freind .
So next time you think of your freinds lost in time ,not seen for years at a time cook a meal fit for a king with food you have havested ,grown in your garden .Chocolate from suppies saved just for days like this one .Bring your family close .enjoy all the times like these --and in hopes freinds will show up !
