Mom's Sunday Dinners

I was born and bred in Newfoundland. The memory I have in Smell and Memory is my mom's Sunday dinners. It did not matter if I had eaten that morning or not I looked forward to this special meal. She would get up very early on that day and cooked for hours. My other siblings and I used to sit outside on the front steps smelling the delicious fragrance of her roasted stuffed chicken.. Add the boiled vegetables and gravy to that,it was amazing..Now every time I smell anything similar, it takes me back to mom's cooking when I was a child.
