"Grandma making chocolate malts for us kids while we got to stay up and watch Johnny Carson! The smell of the blender and malt made a distinct smell that I will never forget! Grandma was always in the kitchen making the best stuff! Beef roasts, my little pumpkin pies, even her hamburgers tasted better... Had to be that cast iron skillet and years of cooking in it! I love you Grandma and miss you so much!"
In loving memory of
