My grandma will never let you leave her house empty handed.
Whether it’s the leftovers from a meal, a mishmash of snacks from
the basket near the kitchen table, or a drink from the mini fridge in
the living room, she will lovingly guilt you into taking something out
the door.
One of my favorite things to do when I go over is seeing the
new array of food she collected throughout the week: Hawaiian Host
chocolates, a bagel from Ralphs, and some crispy cauliflower veggie
chips. When I sit down at the kitchen table, I am instantly surrounded
with my choice of sweet and savory goodies. Despite her own love
of food, I recently noticed she is always the last one to sit down at
the table for a meal. I never really thought too much about it.
