For me it is macaroni and tomato sauce served on my grandmother Louisa's macaroni platter. I never knew her but my mother kept her memory alive by using her platter when we had macaroni. My mother used her mother's way of serving macaroni on that platter, one layer of sauce, some cooked macaroni, sauce, macaroni, sauce and some grated Italian cheese over the top. I inherited my grandmother's platter and used it her way over the years. I don't do those big dinners any longer and now the platter is with one of my granddaughter's and she will begin serving macaroni the way her great great grandmother Louisa, great grandmother Millie and grandmother May (me) did to the next generation of our family.
