I just love your writing and how you’re able to capture all the emotion that goes into food!

Such beautiful writing and nostalgia. We lost both my grandmother and great-grandmother to dementia so I certainly feel your words.

Thank you… I’m so sorry for your loss as well, it’s such a horrible disease, so so hard to live with and to watch steal your loved ones away 🙏

So much to love here, so many emotions, so many memories...watching Mom and Nena lose their past and exist entirely in the present. Trying to be there with them joyfully.

And the food: My grandpa's Chile Verde, mom's lentil soup, Nena’s chilequilas, my own versions of all three. Love, cooked up fresh.

Yes yes yes, I love this so much…those memories and using them to enrich and improve the future, your own kitchen and beyond, this is what it’s all about 💕
