tbh im very fortunate my grammie mac gave my mom a book of her family recipes as a wedding gift
#'my grandmother only knew 18 different ways to encase meat with jello' damn that sucks. can't be me though#we use that cook book all the time#most often the banana bread and mac & cheese recipe#and her spice cake is a family favorite#but there are A LOT in there#spaghetti sauces donuts glazes...#she even wrote little notes in it like 'this was the family's favorite' and 'i like to use this kind of butter'#its nice having a little piece of her after she's been gone#even if her old lady cursive is hard to parse at times#mickey.txt#tbh i think my favorite part of that recipe book is awakening memories in my dad#like when i make those muffin balls and his eyes light up because he and his siblings loved them as kids#or when he saw me using coffee in a chocolate cake instead of plain water and he exclaimed 'my mom used to do that!'#my mom said 'really? you never told me that' and dad said 'i didn't remember until now'#or when he says stuff like 'grammie mac would be proud of you' or even admits 'i think i like the way you made this#than i liked grammie's way'#especially after a rift grew between us when my parents separated#its a nice way to mend it
