This is the type of activity I think so many people miss out on! Shoot, from my own peeling skills I realized I need to do it more often, haha. I am so thankful to have wonderful mamas around to teach me so that I can hopefully pass it on to the next generation. As much as I love certain modern conveniences, I hope we never lose touch with the joy of that homegrown food production line, as you so eloquently put it.

I think it was particularly moving this time because his mom just lost her father last week, and wasn't able to go back home to Poland for the services. She's so stoic and doesn't often show her emotions, but I felt it was important to just BE with her as she processes the loss in her own way. 💚
