Grandma’s Homemade Magic
Melt-in-your-mouth biscuits and apple butter
crafted from scratch
humble ingredients transformed
into manna fit for a queen
flour, lard, powdered milk, water
mixed, kneaded, shaped, fired, served
the ordinary
rose to the occasion
remedied need
warm delight filled emptiness
and now nourishes
the wonderful world of nostalgia
Grandma created remarkable from meager
plain and simple magic

Love the pun “rose to the occasion” and sound of “remarkable from meager”
The process is a good metaphor for her character. Thank you!
Delight filled emptiness. Wonderful.
The best feeling!
Your Mamaw Eva Gilreath loved her family and showed this comfort by cooking/baking some delightful bounty from whatever she had on hand; and it truly was magic like chicken and dumplings or Raisin pie! I can feel the warmth of her loving creations as I’m recalling many of those happy hours spent with her.????????????☕️??❤️
Comforting and nostalgic!
I love “remarkable from meager.”
