thoughtful thursday

my sister posted the recipe for sugar bread (sugar sandwiches) on her blog.  reading that brought back memories.  in the summer my siblings and i played outside all day long.  we were extremely hungry by late afternoon, especially after swimming in our little pool and running through the sprinkler.  to tide us over until dinner, mom made sugar sandwiches.  (a sugar sandwich is a slice of white bread spread with butter and sugar is sprinkled on the butter.)  we thought sugar sandwiches were the best taste sensation ever.

the four of us sat huddled on the backyard porch steps in wet swimsuits, wrapped in towels, munching away on sugar sandwiches.  it's doubtful if sugar sandwiches would have the same appeal today. however, this childhood snack will remain an ever wonderful memory.
