When I finally moved out from my rather uninspired parents and my less than glorious childhood, the first thing I learned how to cook was lasagna. To this day cooking a lasagna on a Sunday afternoon brings me back to the first best days of my life. It is a always a terrific meal with the wife and kids with great memories.
Is there a meal that just takes to back to a place you love to be taken back to?
The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flak jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an iron-on sporting the Mad slogan "Up With Mini-Skirts". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right. 😞
