[Sca-cooks] Memories was Pizzelle question

[Huette von Ahrens]

I guess that I am very lucky.  I have many of my
grandmother's kitchen tools, like her rosette
irons, her springerle rolling pin, her spritz
cookie press and several other items.  But most
of the stuff I got before she died.  When my
grandmother was in her mid-90's, she decided that
she couldn't use these items anymore, so she gave
them to me.  I treasure them and I use them.
Everytime I do, I remember her using them, the
sound of her voice as she showed me how to use
them and how much we loved each other.  When I
use them, I feel as if she is with me and I am
comforted by that thought.
