I truly had the best I ever had in all my lives. They all LOVED children and spoiled us rotten. They never beat us. And Grandpa supplied me in candy rings and lollipops and gum. Grandma provided me with gum too always. Grandma was a great cook, better than me. Ground beef was a staple. With creamy mashed potatoes Georgette taught my dad to make. Excellent tourtiere by Grandma. i tried a go once at making a crust for a vegan tourtiere: total failure.
