THE KITCHEN

Aunt Kitty’s Kitchen

Breakfast: Golden Grahams, Frosted Flakes, Cookie Crisps, Fruit Loops, Cheerios, Rice Krispies. Mismatched bowls and spoons – some with plastic handles, some without. Cold milk and three happy little children. Prizes from the depths of colorful cardboard boxes accumulated atop the beige Frigidaire in their plastic wrappers; until there were three. Aunt Kitty was fair.

Lunch: tuna fish, peanut butter and jelly, Spaghetti O’s, cold-cut sandwiches, chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese on Sunbeam, white bread.
