Food with history

I can believe it. Maybe that's what they had for their first meal and could afford at the time. My wife and I were really poor when we got married. Her daughter and now my daughter asked her Hawaiian classmates to donate to our "wedding" meal. We went to McDonalds of all places and for the past 24 years we had the same meal "ice cream cones" with French fries. This year for the 25th year I had to go by myself. She was called to heaven after stage 4 cancer took her so quickly.

Heartfelt condolences and prayers.

We witnessed an adorable elderly couple sharing a rotisserie chicken supper at a table outdoors. Vintage tablecloth as well as the soft music they had playing. It was so peaceful.

I've been known to open a can of corned beef hash or roast beef hash and set it in a shallow pan of water on the stove. Kinda like a double boiler. When I finish eating, the only thing I have to wash is the spoon. :)

Herself and I think it's a great anecdote. Only 3 more years until our 50th and we can roast hot dogs on the fire in memory of our first meal. :c

Cute anecdote:).
I'm still eating the same dish I first started camping with: marinated London broil and salad. Just changed the man I'm eating it with.

Great story.....I get a kick out of elderly couples still doing things together.

Mom & Dad always held hands when walking along on outings.


But really?
Couple cans of stew heating up on fire-grate caused you to think 'STOLEN MH'
You are either very suspicious person or have taken just a little bit of 'writers liberties' setting up the scene :B

Maybe they had run out of propane and did not know where to locate more, thus heating the food outside? Or be afraid to run the propane stove like someone I know. She must go outside, while her husband lights the number of stove burners that they will use to cook dinner that night.

Or they like the smoky flavor of the fire heating their cans of food?

I would not be thinking stolen RV right away. . .

Glad that you shared this moment in time from 5 years ago. . .

They had a high end motorhome but, did not forget how they started.
