Last year, I had a memory of Thanksgiving past, when my grandmother made her favorite rice and raisin stuffing. I quickly reached out to my sister to see if she remembered it. She's younger and unfortunately she didn't remember it.
The thing is, I had never eaten it. Yep, not once. I was young and I wasn't having the raisin thing.
But, it was something my grandmother looked forward to and made on Thanksgiving. It's memorable because my grandfather was actually the chef in the house, she wasn't the one who cooked.
I did a search of the internet and didn't find anything that I sort of remembered, as to, what, her dish looked like. And it all ended there.
Ok, ready, let's fast forward to September of this year. I'm hanging with my cousin, who tells me he had recently come across his mom's hand written recipe book. It didn't hit me then but a month later I text him to see if Grandma's "Rice and Raisin Stuffing" recipe was in the recipe book. And he text me back this....Suddenly, I had Grandma's recipe. And I will be trying it out this Thanksgiving. Now to save it for the rest of the family.
I love the way this made it's way to me. Very synchronistic.

Very nice, really it's a treasure! Food and memories always warm my heart.
ReplyDeleteRaisins and cheese don't go together at all, that recipe should remain lost.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you found her original recipe. I'm sure it will bring back great memories when you make it. Sounds good to me.
