Kitchens can create memories

The aroma of bacon lingered in my grandmother Della’s Ada kitchen along with those of fried pies and simmering butter beans. She wore a bib apron made from a feed sack as she orchestrated breakfast. She used her apron to gather eggs fresh from the henhouse, then scrambled them in a well-seasoned iron skillet.

Next door on 14th Street lived my maternal grandmother, who loved to decorate things and served canned peas at every important meal. Her kitchen was large and white with a wall of sliding doors that stored dishes of every sort and size — some shaped like apples, some with Safeway dogwood blossoms and Lipton tea-green glasses.
