Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Leftovers in candlelight became a feast.

Backstory

When our children were young and not very tolerant of leftover foods being served to them a second (or third) night in a row, I decided to dress up the meal with candlelight. When they came to the table, our older daughter exclaimed, "Oh, wow, this is a feast!!" No one noticed the leftovers, just the candlelight.
