I was in Baltimore for a family reunion earlier this month. I caught up with some cousins on my father’s side of the family. My mom came along, and it was the first time that we have traveled together with me being an adult. And it was the first time, that she had been to Charm City. Of course, any trip isn’t important without food. And Baltimore has a lot of great food, y’all.
The last morning in town, we stopped at Sip and Bite, a tiny diner in town that’s been in business since 1948. My cousin Qulock had brought some photos of family members I hadn’t seen before, including a photo of both my paternal grandparents, my paternal great grandfather and my dad — as a baby. There was a picture of my great aunt (Qulock’s adoptive mother) holding me as a baby. There was another picture of one of my great uncles as a boy back in the 1930s. He even had photos from my parents wedding back in 1974! It was for me, a remarkable treasure trove.
As for the food . . .
