grandma!

This is my grandma, isn't she lovely and my sister Shannon. (Note, she isn't always that tan. This picture is taken during the summer). I recently have seen some resemblance between my sister and my mom, and then my mom and my grandma -so who knows - maybe this is who my sister might grow up to be! (Haha!) My grandma will be my main focus for my Web site. She doesn't know this yet, but I think she will enjoy the idea. She doesn't know the first thing about computers - not like I do, but I am hoping she will like the idea. I have been thinking about layouts this weekend, trying to find a really cool cooking site that I maybe could steal some ideas from, but I haven't found any that really strike my fancy. Maybe I am being too picky, but whatever. I'll figure it out. I am guessing my Web site isn't going to be straight recipes, since my grandma usually cooks the same things over and over again. I want to include some grandmotherly advice of course, and my blog, maybe some photos. blah blah blah. This is me just working out my thoughts.

it's changed.

I wanted to do a photography Web site, but it looks like it is turning into a no-can-do. Instead, I chose cooking, which is something I am not educated on...at all. My grandma knows a lot however, and has basically lived in the kitchen all her life. Unfortunately my mother did not pick up the skill as easy as her mother did, for at home we live off of take out orders and restaurants. Both are one hundred percent Italian and one hundred percent different, kitchen savoy wise. Cooking is something I have always tried to dabble myself in, but I, like my mom never got the hang of it.

I live off frozen foods and fruit snacks. Not so much the best diet in the world, but I am willing to change. I would love to know how to cook, and I am not blaming my mom but since she only uses her kitchen as a storage container I fear I will never learn.

I think this is a great chance to spend sometime with my grandma and obviously get to know her secret recipes! Maybe I will even be able to teach my mom something in the meantime!
