The year was 1984 and I was getting married. As a gift, my grandmother – Mimi – collected her favorite recipes as a foundation for my life as a new bride.  In the following years she lost most of them in a move, a fact I only recently understood.   In my possession is a snapshot of her that I want to share.  She loves keeping house and at age 98, keeps her own grocery list.  If left to her own devices she scoots furniture around her apartment – where to this day she lives alone.   I am inspired by her independent spirit and her confidence in what she loves.
