Our first house was a tiny cape code in a neighborhood of tiny cape cods. The kitchen wasn’t big enough for a table so we had a breakfast bar. The dining room table and hutch that I bought the Mrs. was too big for the room. The tiny room in the back often referred to as the nursery had a enough space for a love seat and a TV. I can tell you many a Giants game was viewed there by yours truly. The second floor was a mess, cheap paneling in one giant space. I remember sitting on the floor in middle of the of everything i had ripped down. A huge mess. Over the years two bedrooms, skylights, a new bathroom and a remodeled bath were added/remodeled including every door and every window. I loved that sturdy little house. We were snug as bugs in a rug. I learned some things - one: very good people can come from a modest home. Two; a modest home with good windows and insulation can be run inexpensively.
A couple minute walk around the corner was a vegetable shop/ seafood store. Every Saturday they made and offered a Tuna California roll combo for $6.25. I considered it a special treat. I’d pick one up come home have that and a beer. When i think to ask for them the master sushi chef Mrs. makes me California rolls. It takes me back in time to our snug little home.
My other favorite is German Rouladen (Meat rolls filled with bacon, onions and pickles.) except my mother-in-law skipped the pickles.
I know she made it because i loved it. The family and I miss that strong lady...
