Food Memories Flourish with Seniors

Sometimes it is hard for young people to start a conversation with seniors. Try talking about food. I did an experiment last week and asked Seniors a simple question: What do you like to put on your toast? Your most favourite! I have posted the results on my mini blog. Here is the answer from Pat (85) What do you like on your toast, Pat?
Read the entertaining comments following the blog. You are welcome to add your comments too. I asked 2 more seniors the same question - both are in their 80s and passionate about their toast.

It is a fun conversation starter for all ages - Give it a try!
Have some homemade jam handy as your guests will want some toast to go with their tea.

Many more are needed during the cold winter months.
