Mary’s Memory

Mary’s MemoryOh! Isaly’s has been a part of my life, for the past 79 years. I’m 85 and in my day, once you were 6 years old, especially being #10 of 11 children, you were helping with shopping, and so many other things. Of course, i remember the “Sky Scraper Ice Cream Cones, the Klondikes that if you bit into the ice cream and saw a stripe of Strawberry (Pink) Ice cream, you got a free one! We grew-up on Isaly’s Chipped Ham Sandwiches, especially with the Bar-B-Q sauce. We also made what we called: “Hot Sandwiches”, where in you prepared the Chipped ham, a piece of Cheese and some condiments; wrapped them in foil and heated them in the oven for few minutes and served them hot! wow, what a treat! My dear mom and her friends had a “Card Club” in their day and when it was my mom’s turn to have the game at our house, she always served the ladies sandwiches of Isaly’s Chipped Ham at our Christmas Party, my son made a crock pot of Isaly’s Bar-B-Q Chipped ham for all of us to enjoy! Isaly’s holds many wonderful memories for me! i still love Klondikes and now, I’m so hungry for some Isaly’s Bar-B-Q Chipped ham!
