Well friends, tomorrow is the day we take John to Auburn. I can’t write much more than that right now because I want to savor the last few hours of him here without being a blubbery mess. I spent the week cooking another round of his all time favorites. Here’s the list:
Pasta Night
We started this fun – and yummy – family night after we learned how in Italy summer 2023!
Sauce we love. I doubled and added ground beef this time to make it go further.
Steaks on the Big Green Egg
I don’t have a recipe for this, but it’s always a hit. Steaks, baked potatoes and roasted asparagus.
Marry Me Chicken
This one hasn’t been in the repertoire long, but it is one of my most requested supper.
Smash Burgers
I new rave hit on the Blackstone is Smash Burgers. We enjoyed these with a pool day with the whole family present – Marme, Daddy-O and Sister’s Family.
Cottage Pie
If you’ve been around the blog any time at all, you’ll know John’s favorite meal ever is Cottage Pie! I saved it for tonight – his last night home. At the last minute Sister, Uncle J and Cee joined us so I forgot to get a pic. I made enough for John to have a few containers to keep in his freezer at school when he wants a taste of home. <3
Creme de Menthe Brownies
Any favorite meal for John wouldn’t be complete without creme de menthe brownies. Once again, I told him the story of how C’s mom used to bring these to the ZTA house. He asked if I’d bring them when I visit and it brought a tear to my eye. It would be my honor. Like the Cottage Pie, a tupperware of these is headed to Auburn tomorrow.
Monkey Bread
It wasn’t all dinners this week – I also made his favorite breakfast this morning.

With that, friends, say a little prayer for me. I know so many of you have done the college drop off. And so many of my friends have done it in this past week. After holding it all together pretty well for his entire senior year, right now I just don’t feel very brave. <3
Y’all saw him off to Kindergarten with me 13 years ago, and I cannot thank you enough for still being here for this very big next chapter.
