When we were kids, we would sometimes eat fries on the couch as we watched TV. We ate them on blue platters.
Recently, my mom shared these memories with my sister and expressed her sadness that we can't return to those days.
In response, my sister planned a surprise "Blue platter fries night". Those blue platters hadn't been used for 20 years and were hidden away on a forgotten shelf. But last night, the five of us – my parents, my brother, my sister, and I – enjoyed fries on our blue platters again, just like we used to.
Organizing it was a bit of a challenge since I live in the US now, but I'm so glad we did!
