Portraits of the Grandmothers: Jana Vee & Marjorie

One Virgo.  One Scorpio. 

One farm girl that moved to the city.  The other a city girl that moved to the farm. 

One with six children, born in a relatively short span of time, to feed.  The other with a farm full of hungry men descending upon her kitchen each noon. 

The ability (gift really) to eye the perfect cut of meat, select the ripest fruit, sew their own swimsuits, clean their own chickens and magically prepare something out of nothing.  Perfectionists. 

No double convection ovens.  No All Clad pans. 

Women with an abundance of quiet strength and love for their families. 

And amazing recipes. 

XOXO
