“I'd Like To Ask Sister White ...”

What Do You Like To Eat, Especially When You Are Traveling?

We reached Chicago Wednesday evening and stopped at the Eagle Hotel. Thursday morning I lay down in my room to rest while your father went out in the city. He returned just in time to take the cars, and brought a basket of fruit—of tomatoes, peaches, and apples. They were very nice. We ate the fruit with our bread taken from home. ² LASW 126.2

We have only a half loaf of graham and one loaf of white, and half of one of the rusk bread. It is all moist and good. Someone helped himself to our oranges. We think our apples go well. We are well satisfied with our meals. Those around us are loaded with chicken, pickles, corned beef, jellies, and tea and coffee. None seem to feel as well as we do, who eat only twice a day of simple food. Not anything warm yet to eat or drink. We feel the blessing of the Lord attends us. Praise His dear name! ³ LASW 126.3

While parents and children were eating of their dainties, my husband and myself partook of our simple repast, at our usual hour, at 1:00 p.m., of graham bread without butter, and a generous supply of fruit. We ate our meal with a keen relish, and with thankful hearts that we were not obliged to carry a popular grocery with us. We ate heartily, and felt no sense of hunger until the next morning. The boy with his oranges, nuts, popcorn, and candies, found us poor customers. ⁴ LASW 127.1
