They were good memories, I still Love relish today in tuna!! Cookie

I tried making breakfast gravy when I was about 12. It didnt come out well lol.
Do you guys remember that old horror movie called The Blob?
I can make great gravy now but that first try was scary lol.

My first cooking experiences were with my grandmother. As a little girl I would help her stir the apple butter or cut fresh noodles for chicken and noodles. She had a little pie tin for me so when she was making pies I could make my own little pie. I still have that pie tin and I actually still use it. I always have a little dough left over when I'm making a big pie so I make a second one in my little tin.

That is soooo neat!!! I can't believe you still have it how wonderful!

I watched my grandmother "Nanny" cook, this woman was a wonder in the kitchen and my inspiration!!!

Maybe good cooking skips a generation. My mother never had any interest at all in cooking. My Grandmother was definitely the one to instill in my how satisfying it is to make something with your hands and share it with the world. She was also quite the artist but no one ever got to see her work. She made beautiful quilts by hand. Each patch different and all hand embroidered. No sewing machines used. It would take her a year to make one. She made one for me. It has my name and the year it was completed embroidered on the side. It is one of my most cherished possessions.
