"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29
I am grateful for my Granny's wit and decades of wonderful memories and advice:
Thick cut bread piled high with ham and dense slices of tomato and cheese, served with hot tea in the evening in time for the start of Coronation Street.
"Stay away from the goodlooking men , they are too much trouble. The ugly ones are easier to manage, and more grateful "
Hot apple tart with a serving of vanillia ice cream melting on top.
My cousin Sean reminded all of us: "You always felt the love, till the cards were dealt..."
"Hunger makes the best sauce" (Not that you could ever sit in her kitchen long enough to be hungry)
Picking peas up behind Siberia, picking gooseberries out by Tommy's house, and nettles... always finding the nettles...
And from Peter: Mine is slices of soda bread buttered an inch thick and then dipped in sugar for added sweetness. Not one to worry about your teeth was Granny Moore. Oh and square apple tarts and the fights over the corner slice.
"Say nothin'... and keep sayin' nothin"
Milk from the cows, with cream floating on top- so so good.
A recent exchange my cousin shared:
Granny: "Are you behaving yourself"
Ally: "Yeah I am"
Granny: "I think I'd need to ask someone else"
