My whole family gathers at my grandmother's house and there are two menu items that cannot be missing.
The first:
Macaroni and Cheese. My aunt always makes it. One year she was about two hours late because of a snow storm. She called us to tell us to go on ahead and eat without her. We would have but she had the macaroni and cheese. I have never seen more hungry people with food who just would not eat.
The second:
My grandmother's Strawberry Shortcake. When she cuts the cake everyone in the house stops what they're doing to grab a plate. You could get cut by your own family if you try to jump ahead in the shortcake line. My cousin's wife said she knew he loved her when he let her have his piece of cake.
