At this very moment, is a lovely smell of dumpfnudel, a sort of German white puffy buns cooking away...so 2 men, my partner and his brother are trying to emulate their mother's fav. dish that they had in childhood.
It's great to see..she is now in nursing home. Just celebrated her 93 birthday.

It's very real, this type of mother honouring by my partner. He tries to remember and makes wine dessert sauces, vanilla custard sauces, chicken in patty shells, kohl rabi in white sauce, paper-thin crepes with orange sauce,...
In fact he and brother were really cheesed off when they figured out that their mother threw out by mistake her handwritten German language cookbook that was over 60 yrs. old.

dotsie, you pricked a thought I've had off and on over the years. what will my children do with the things I've stashed away in the attic over the years? Will the things that were important to me, hold the same importance to them?
I think it's a shame that their mom threw the cookbook away. Sad, too, as a matter of fact. I'm a sentimental sort. I a couple of my grandmother's handmade aprons. They were the things I cared to have of hers most. I remember her wearing one or another of her favorites throughout the day. Sometimes she'd have a line of safety pins on a strap. One of the aprons I received still had a safety pin on it. I love that apron! It's a flour sack print with orange rickrack, of all things, but I love it.
