Not sure if they'd be as good as you remember your grandmother's pies being, especially since I don't use lard in the crust, as my Mom used to do. <br /><br />Yes, somehow all of the food memories are so long-lived. We smell a whiff of something cooking, or taste something, and we're transported back to a time long gone, and we hear people who were important to us then, as they filled our bellies and our hearts with love.<br /><br />When my Mom was "disconnected" due to her dementia, I could always get her to smile with the taste of something Busia used to make. Or some of my cookies, since she had a real sweet tooth.<br /><br />People who think it doesn't matter what you feed to children need to seriously examine their thinking, since it's so wrong. Long after you're gone, children will remember the love you cooked/baked into foods.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10665541.post-62284153000849574832014-11-22T16:54:02.174-08:002014-11-22T16:54:02.174-08:00You are so right about foods conveying love, famil...You are so right about foods conveying love, family and caring for one another.
