"She always took great pleasure in feeding us all. It was how she showed her love. It was often some kind of pasta and red meat sauce. And, a dish of ice cream or homemade cookies for dessert. She’d approach her grandchildren in the hallway of her house before we went home, and slip us each a $5 bill."

She sounds a lot like my German grandmother, John. Only differences: She made bratwurst and brautkartoffeln (fried potatoes), typically made cheesecakes for dessert, (those things sold out in what seemed like seconds when she catered German dances at Swiss Park in Fremont), and slipped my sister and I twenties.
