Gracie, reading your post honestly made my mouth start watering!

I'm such a perfectionist that I dislike just about every ready-made food there is. I started with home cooking just 'cause it was cheaper & tasted better. Now I'm spoiled & do dislike ready-made food. It lacks flavour & nutritional value most times. And I love spices, & herbs, something they never add enough of!

I always had a big garden for freezing & canning for winter. Now that there's just one son & me, I buy vegetables & fruits from a local produce market that has excellent fresh produce. But I still prefer to grow some vegetables & all my herbs in large tubs on my deck. You MUST try winter squash (hubbard, buttercup, etc) when it's still young & can be eaten skin, seeds & all. I die for it & you only get it young if you grow it yourself.

I make our breads, buns, soups, stews, salad dressings, sauces - everything from scratch - so much cheaper & quick & easy with food processors & blenders now. Your Grandma sounds like a wonderful AND very interesting woman!
