tastes like the past
I made chicken soup a while ago. Then, I had to do something with the chicken, so I made chicken pie, and put it in the freezer. Today, I took it out and baked it. I had used my grandmother's chicken pie recipe. It turned out well, and it's got me thinking about my extended family, and going to family events at my mom's parents. I really miss those wonderful times (which I'm sure I undervalued then, even though I liked them). I miss grandma's cooking (she's given it up), and my grandparents' house (grandma sold it after grandpa died and moved to a retirement place), and my whole family being all together. Vanessa once discribed this extended family as freakish because they actually like each other, and try to make each other happy (modulo usual sibling stuff, etc).
