Family Vacation with Grandpa Fritz

Today I had my first ham and cheese sandwich, ever.

And nestled in the mountains with honey, bread, and apple? What more could one ask for? As a human being, a sister, daughter, niece, cousin, a lover of northern Michigan summertime, an early bird, avid reader of the New York Times travel section, a physics drop-out, double mitten wearer, dreamer of Kiss concerts, knuckle cracker, heavy sleeper, wanderer, your neighborhood cookie baker, a lover of ideas, and a Moslem, I think tasting this little piece of the World was necessary, and absolutely yummy.

What I'm really saying is that for me, being a Moslem is more about experiencing the world, wholly - to be immersed, to indulge in tastes and colours, and to later thank and appreciate. But more importantly, to know that such a thing may only happen once.

Thus, I must say, Terevez Jamon is a gift from God.
