“Is that salt, Abba?” I was immediately taken back to 1964. My grandmother was working the snack counter at the Columbia Bowl alley on a Saturday during junior league play. I asked for an order of fries, then looked at the container and said to myself, “Oh, faster salt.” After thoroughly sugaring my fries, Nana said to me, “Don’t waste food.” I never made that mistake again and now my grandson won’t make it the firs time.
