That is certainly a talent grandmothers have — even in lean times, they manage to make food stretch a long way by not wasting anything! I remember my grandmother always setting a feast at the table at every meal, even when it was just family visiting. The garden behind the house provided a huge array of vegetables and fruits, and my grandmother home-canned them (in vacuum-sealed jars) so there was always food during the winter. I like that you call your grandmothers "lola" Thanks for sharing! 😊
