HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRAM!!!!
We lost her three years ago, and today she would have turned 97.
My Mom's mother, Gram was instrumental in my love of cooking. She was a great cook (she and my Grandfather owned a diner, even though he was blind) and encouraged me, along with my Mom, to be in the kitchen through their being in the kitchen. I always "got to" help, and Gram bought me my first cookbook. Betty Crocker's Cooking For Boys and Girls.
Gram's fried chicken is legendary in our family. And I have to add that she and Grandpa also owned a poultry-processing company (she woke at 3am to pluck chickens!) and an egg hatchery (the state inspectors always made my Grandpa puff our with pride when he told my grandparents that theirs was "the cleanest hatchery in the state on Pennsylvania").
I miss them both, and am thankful for all that they taught me.
Just wanted to reminisce a bit... thanks for putting up with this.
