This is the first time a food related blog has ever made me cry. It’s heart warming to know there are still humans out there that can recognize emotions and pay tribute to them. I’m sure Grandma is proud .

You brought back dear memories of my Gram and me. They don’t make women like that any more. They lived through things we can’t imagine. She lived for our family, and would do anything for us, but she would also never go out the front door without primping in front of the mirror and having some lipstick on. I miss her.

I can’t thank you enough for these beautiful words.

It is always nice to know and have wonderful memories of times spent together.

Your writing is spare and evocative. Those photos. left me snuffling into my handkerchief (yes i use those), it is a theme that lies underneath everyday isn’t it, longing, nostalgia, at some point you can never return home yes? The building is gone, the parents are gone, the coffee is cold, and yet they exist in your mind fully formed. Anyway I am rambling. Thank you for this post.

It reminded me of Saturday mornings I spent with my gramma and definitely brought a few tears to my eyes

I lost my Grandma Virginia the end of last year, and I’m so grateful for all the memories I have of her. This brought them all rapidly flooding back.
