I met my grandmothers only once or twice. How sad is that? But reading your memories somehow helps fill the gaps. Knowing you knew and loved your grandma, and continue to do so, for some reason warms me.<br /><br />p.s. I make this recipe with Greek yogurt and a smidge of garlic and vinegar. Love it. So refreshing.Oakland Daily Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352365270299187377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-57449571184459435372010-06-16T23:07:10.777-05:002010-06-16T23:07:10.777-05:00I will try this wonderful sounding recipe.

I too have memories of eating rice pudding at grandma's house, among other things. I have never been able to make rice pudding like grandma's. sigh! I LOVE cucumbers and this recipe sounds awesome. Your auntie's home looks inviting and it is wonderful to have that photo where so many wonderful memories were shared.<br /><br />We are out the door to pull weeds in the lily garden. I HATE WEEDS! Yesterday we spent the whole day cleaning the garage. Thus, the late response.<br /><br />I am coming back to see you cabin kitchen but now my dh is calling me to weed. It is now or never according to him. HA!

I also made a yellow summer squash salad the same way adding very thin slices of onions to the mix. Hadn't thought of them in years. Thanks! IT has brought back some very fond memories. Have a wonderful day.

My Grandma (who I'm so happy is say is still with me at age 80) wasn't so much a great cook, but there were always "goodies" in the bread drawer, and every morning there was this delicious smell of perked coffee, bacon and fresh eggs. aahhh!
