I think I’ve finally found the definitive squash casserole recipe. I knew it was going to be good when I saw that it was from the Barclay Cafeteria in Charlotte. I used to love that place, and not just because I could eat there and charge it to my Belk card when I was broke…
I’ve been thinking about Charlotte a lot lately. As a matter of fact, I found the aformentioned recipe by accident while looking to see if the Barclay were still open. I was looking up some of my old haunts and reminiscing about my first years there. But that’s all fodder for another journal entry…
All you need to know now is that Mark and I have set a tentative deadline for moving there. Why? Because we both like Charlotte and we both find SF rather distasteful. Because we want to own a house and not live our lives in an apartment the size of a postage stamp. Because I never want to ride a bus again unless it’s by choice rather than necessity. And because a new health issue involving my mom reminds me that I really want to live closer to my parents again…
It’s made me much happier than I was earlier this week…
