Hi Denise! I have a trip planned soon but haven't quite pinned the exact dates down yet.
What a great memory of your grandmother! Cooking for loved ones used to be so much more prevalent. I think those who lived through the Depression showed their love through food more than later generations who've lived in relative abundance in comparison. I had a great aunt in Detroit who would make the best pastries for us when we'd visit.
My Grandmother... My mother...My sisters, three. We cook for people. It felt normal growing up and my kids still bring their friends over for dinner. I still cook like my mom and her mom before her.
Because to me, love is normal. :)
