my grand mother used to tell us: "If you don't do it yourself it will never get done or be done well'"
She insisted that we learned how to cook, mix, create, sew, crochet, use an old dress as a pattern to make a new one.
She showed us how to make a brand new tasty meal from left overs. how to use proper spices and proper wines to make delicious meals.
Looking back she was showing us how to reprocess every kind of left over. Use everything, never throw anything away.
I did not realize I was learning as a child but now I find myself putting her teachings into practice.
Tinahasit.com
the site is part of the accomplishments achieved thanks to grand mother and grand father teachings. "Do it Yourself or it will not get done".
Took over 30 years to realize that dream and thanks to their advice it all came true.
Odes to the elderly in my family for the message they so kindly etched into us.
