THE WIDOW SERIES- TEA AND TOAST

 I used to hear about lonely old women having tea and toast. I didn't get it then. I get it now. Who really likes to cook all the time.

Widow Series-

Tea and Toast

What is for dinner?

So hard to cook for one.

The elderly woman is what she called herself.

Tea and Toast.

A different tea each day.

A different slice of bread. Sometimes white. Sometimes grain. Sometimes whole wheat.

From a family home to a couple’s home to a family to being empty nester then to being alone. A single.

She never liked the idea of single.

It rather sucks.

So much advice of how to cook and what to make.

Much easier to order something or buy at the supermarket. You know. One of those meals. A chicken and two sides.

Swiss Chalet has good meals. A salad. A bun. A side extra with steamed vegetables.

But meal time is a social time. Not just the food but the company. Being with someone else.

Well not alone.

Trying not to eat in front of the TV all the time. But it is company.
