Question of the week
What did your kitchen smell like on Sunday mornings when you were little?
Mom's answer (example)
Coffee and bacon, always. My father made pancakes in the cast iron pan and let me flip the last one, which was never round. My mother hummed hymns while she set the table, and we weren't allowed to eat until everyone sat down. I still can't smell bacon without hearing her humming.
Family reaction (example)
❤️ Emma: Grandma, is that why you hum when you cook?
