Gran loves to tell anyone who will listen stories about her home cooking ideas. She tells the story about Granddad being a test subject for all the new dishes she experimented with when she first started cooking years and years ago, when her cooking was just no good. Grandfather never seemed to notice if it was not tasty. He’d sit and eat everything just like it was the best food he ever had. He would compliment her on her dishes. He knew she was working on these dishes because he was diabetic. Gran says she decided she would do whatever she could to keep him as healthy as possible. My Grandfather says he likes the way she does the natural thing. He is all for organic cooking and natural home cooking. Gran says it took a while to get good at cooking but when she got on the right track, everybody benefited. That’s why she insisted on her kids coming over every Sunday for dinner. She knew it not only helped them financially since they were just starting out in life, but it helped her learn what was good and what was not, since leftovers to her meant she needed to re-work a dish.
