family easter (4/20)

potatoes boiling in the pot
i get the rest of the ingredients together
mayo (though I won't use a lot)
ground mustard
salt and pepper
garlic powder
instead of an onion this year
i dice up two shallots
and not seeing the bacon
(which was hiding in plain sight
on the fridge's top shelf)
i diced and fried some
Canadian bacon instead
potatoes now ready
not to hard not too soft
i quarter them and then
mix everything together

although he's been gone
i can't believe it's been twenty years
although he never met
my current family
he is present this Easter
as he is always present
every time i make
one of his recipes
