Jeannie, What a grand memory you shared with us! I too have many wonderful memories of my grandparents and the wonderful food Gram made and she also never wasted a morsel of food! My favorite time was when I would walk in and she had relish or piccalilli simmering in the big pot-wonderful smell and so good on food! Now people worry home canned food will kill them-we grew up on it and survived -I never member anyone getting food poisoning as they claim to get today! Waste not-want not was what Gram said! Helen
