‘Happy Families.’ The pack had 44 cards, 11 sets of a ma, a da, a son and a
daughter. We only used 10 sets … because our mutt, Teddy Bear, chewed up
mistress Bung, wife of Bung the Brewer, leaving one family motherless and
therefore useless in the game.… Looking at they cards, I couldn’t help thinking
our family must be skee-whiff somehow, because there were five of us, not
four—because we had one kid too many.”</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>

was a daylong process. It seemed like pounds of dairy products were released
into the giant mixing bowl with the egg noodles before my mom set the
concoction in the refrigerator in order to meld the flavors. I would peek in
the refrigerator to see how the kugel was doing, longing to taste from the
slippery, creamy casserole dish when it was baked the next day. But [here in
the hospital] tuna noodle, chicken mushroom, broccoli cheese, and now pizza
casserole were things with which I was unfamiliar.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
