I'm sorry you had to experience the nightmare that was your Aunt's place, and especially sorry that she wouldn't allow your dad to stay with you, but I love how your folks made it work for you, how special those dinners turned out to be, your fond memories, and the joys they bring you... there are few things in life more precious than a loving family, and good times shared with them. Congratulations on expanding yours! Thanks for sharing this. <3

This is such a cozy feeling entry. I loved reading about what dinner was like for you, and how much meals and meal-memories mean to you! <3 Food really is something that brings us together. Or, it can anyway.

It sounds like you had a pretty tough time, I'm glad something good comes of those memories. I'm glad you got to spend time with your mum.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

What a nightmare living at your aunt's house was, not to mention what lead up to it. Stir fry hot dogs sounds perfect for a child.

It was a nightmare indeed :/

Stir fry hot dogs were delicious! I wish Green Giant still made their stir fry packages.
