That sounds wonderful.
I miss my Gram, too. She was an amazing cook, and such a nice lady. She always wore dresses with coordinating costume jewelry and heels. She never owned a pair of slacks in her life. She had at least five or six aprons. :)

I miss my Gram as well. That woman could COOK. Her turkeys were always letter-perfect. Everything on the table was delectable....except for the ONE thing I couldn’t stand: tomato aspic. For those unfamiliar with it, it’s basically tomato-flavored Jell-O in a mold. Utterly disgusting. Only once was I forced to try some. Never again.

I am a trained chef. I have a degree in Culinary Arts. Even so....I cannot make a gravy that could match my Grandma’s. What I wouldn’t give to stand over her shoulder and watch how she did it.

When I see her in Heaven, I’ll ask.
