Regina Clare Jane, so funny about the Phillies!

Anna, Tina, and Frances, seems like most of our nonnas had their chairs. Actually, I’m quite thankful that I’ve moved away and don’t have to face the empty one so often.

Cheeky, as I’m so late in responding to these comments, I see that yours is now done–so I’m off to read it!

Nic, cozy is a great word to describe the feeling of walking in through the backdoor; even thinking of it makes me feel cozy.

TheOG, we didn’t have a lot of kids my age around either, so I had tons of grandparents as well. Actually I think that’s why I’m drawn to this medieval village that is full of older people–many people would find it not lively enough, but for me, it reminds me so much of growing up. So familiar.

Paris Parfait, thanks for your comment; grandmothers and kitchens do go hand in hand in my book

Kimberly, wow, thanks so much

Vanessa, I hope you’ll write about your granny’s kitchen someday; I think it helps all of us to remember those good times.

Ally, thank you much; I’ve become a regular at your place, you know

Something, there’s just something about that backdoor, isn’t there? The passing of the generations through it is one of the best parts!

Jenn, I’m not surprised your grandmother didn’t have a dog–those Italian clean freaks! I think because my grandmother was always used to farm animals, it wasn’t so bad…although her sister wouldn’t ever have a dog, so I’m not so sure!

And Meredith, Nathalie, Rose, Kimberley, Nino, thanks for taking the time to comment; I truly wish everyone could’ve enjoyed my grandmother’s kitchen.
