Waking up to the smell of hickey smoked bacon, sweet aromas of syrup, maple, and fruit. Aaaaaahhhh those were the mornings. Stretching out of bed from the night before, filled with laughter, joy, and excitment. Not knowing what the next day would bring.
Nestled up after being full, watching the most iconic shows of my childhood. Laughing away to the sounds that lingered from the television, and the scenery I looked upon. Having the time of my life. Not knowing what later may bring.
Later comes, and I’m sensing a hint of savory flavors. You know, those smells that you knew where only coming from the heart. Cabbage and greens mixed, smoked meat, flavorful beans, mouth watering Mac and cheese, the YAMS!, don’t forget the YAMS !!!
Oh how sweet my childhood Saturdays use to be. After working up a long needed appetite for Saturdays, I couldn’t wait for the weekdays to end. It was like being at a candy store all over again but only these days, it was filled with love.
How did you spend your Saturdays?
