Bring 'em back

I´m reading a book about hallucination at the gym (by Dr. Ronald K. Siegel who tried the drugs first hand to give his research true depth). Quite interesting, a mixture of story-telling and science.

In the chapter I read today he describes how he invites a patient for breakfast and that he had "French Toast". So, at home I wiki`ed French Toast. Haaaa, it´s "Poor Knights (of Windsor"). Too sad I don´t like sweets. I might take a culinary journey back into my childhood.

Our Grandmother, who is dead 7 years in April and who helped raising my Bro and me (yes, just us! The other 14 grandchildren saw her only from time to time!), she made Poor Knights every now and then when she had some old bread rolls.
She made them any time during the day, beside the meals. And not in my mother´s kitchen, where she always prepared lunch for all of us (parents both working full time), but up the stairs in her apartment on the small, very old stove.

She served them on the small kitchen table that is now in our kitchen:



Some days you just wish you could bring back the old days, no?



It´s really a great book, btw ("Hallucinations: Expedition to another reality/ Hallucinations: A Wiley Biomedical Publication), I now know that my brain really did trick me for good one time and that it´s totally ok, too.
We came back from a holiday, far away. Jamaica? Cuba? Very little sleep for a long time. I was sitting on a chair on the station platform, "guarding" our baggage whilst Ingo went down to the public phone to call a friend to collect us there.
I swear... it was my father´s voice coming through the speakers - asking for himself ("Mr K., please, Mr K.") - I was awake like crazy after that.
Gosh. There is so much I´d like to tell and show him. I still, after all those years, can´t believe I will see him never again.
Maybe it´s not such a good idea after all to have pics all over the place and not just in an album?
All the times I was away so long, I´m just used to not see my family for quite a long time...

Well, yes. I did clear that table yesterday, btw!!!
