Personally, my favorite meal has always been my mother's homemade lasagna! Lots of cottage cheese and lots of mozzarella. A good loaf of Italian bread. A salad and sautéed mushrooms. Then, for dessert? Raspberry squares.

How about you?

The best meal I can ever recall was the times we had family reunions at Aunt Ruth's home for Thanksgiving dinner. She was an astounding chef. She spent nearly a week preparing dozens of side dishes to go on the buffet along with the main turkey dinner. Every side dish was an amazing treat. You simply could not eat enough to satisfy your taste buds despite the bulging belly and stretch pains. I was very happy her daughter was trained by the best to continue the tradition. Unfortunately, as time and people pass those dinners are now only distant memories. No one has ever prepared anything like it, even the fancy restaurants we tried over the years since.

I honestly can't remember the best meal i have had, i think it would be the ones my dad cooked for us while he was alive.

About not even fancy restaurants? I totally agree.

As I live far away now, I go to 2 friends' place now for the holidays. I pack my own meals. Not like home, huh?
