I would be eternally grateful to my grandma if she did this for me! I'm in the process of trying to learn all of my grandmother's recipes...from the tortillas to the atole she would also make in the mornings when I'd spend the previous night at her house :). The way you described everything really warms all the senses! What wonderful memories, you've certainly captured the love! I stumbled upon your blog via Teresa's and I'm really glad I did. You two have some fantastic recipes. My grandmother didn't measure either, and though I did try to help out in the kitchen as a little girl, I don't remember everything...so now I have to resort to calling her, because she lives across the country! Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you both, though, to fill in the gaps. It's so important to me to hold on to my culture with food because, sadly, I've forgotten so much of the language. My husband and I plan to practice with each other, though :). Thanks again for sharing this, it's very touching :). <abbr><em>http://www.flour-arrangements.com/s last blog post..<a href="http://www.flour-arrangements.com/2008/08/mini-pumpkin-pie-cinnamon-buns.html" rel="nofollow">Mini Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Buns</a></em></abbr> What a beautiful gift to your grandchildren!

I had many days in the kitchen with my Grandma Maria. I learned to make tortillas at a very young age and all the mexican foods to go with those tortillas. I still do the old traditions even up to cleaning my own nopalitos. I have them in my back yard. Oh the life from before is unforgetable and oh so nostalgic. I will definitely share your blog with others. Wow those memories ring true for me as well. I had many days in the kitchen with my Grandma Maria.

Thank you for sharing this. I have lamented often about being raised without the food or language of my ancestors (German). This story made me realize how important passing on a family tradition is and how much my own son will benefit from my love of cooking. Thank you. What a fantastic experience.

What a wonderful gift. Your story about your abuelita rings familiar to me. I grew up in Houston, though. I loved my Mama Cuca so much. I stumbled on your blog today. What a wonderful gift.
