I say “enjoying” reservedly as it is making me cry – it reminds me a lot of my grandma who passed away two years ago at the age of 99. I regret to this day I never got her stuffed cabbage recipe. I’ve tried making others, but they are not hers.

It looks like a good book to review here.

Seems like you might enjoy it–my husband got it for me for mother’s day and I have been reading bits inbetween my fiction reading.
