Thanks, Catherine. A wonderful evocation of a family occasion. As your Grandmother and my cousin would have said, “Wasn’t it grand?”

Absolutely beautiful. I love the way we as people comfort each other with food–we give each other nourishment and from nourishment comes strength. So poignant and beautiful!

Oh my dear, what a beautiful and moving post. I’m teary as well (and that last line, poignant perfection). I think you’ve done your grandmother–and all those good-hearted community cooks–proud.

I could salt the fried chix with my tears…your post sure made me cry…it is interesting because when I am dealing with loss I can’t eat at all…guess it can go either way…

Undergird - thanks for writing about that word. I had to look it up:
