Today I had a delicious cream cheese and olive sandwich. Yes, that might seem an odd combination for someone who refuses most normal meals, like spaghetti. I love it though and it always conjures up fond memories of the Tic-Toc at Kaufmann's in downtown Pittsburgh.
I had many a cream cheese and olive sandwich at the Tic-Toc during the holidays before the restaurant closed, much to my dismay. For me, it was like having your grandmother make your favorite sandwich because these women were as old as my grandmothers! The waitresses had names right out of the Golden Girls - Dorothy and Rose - and they proudly wore name tags bearing not only their names but the years they had worked there - 15, 20, 25, 30, 35!!! Yikes!!
Ahh memories...I wish I could go downtown this weekend and order a cream cheese and olive sandwich with a homemade soda. I guess I'll have to settle for the homemade version.
