Grandma's Kitchen

Grandma Coté's kitchen is far from how I remember.

Her refrigerator holds a variety of Little Debbie snacks, off-brand cola, wonder bread (yea! it's true!), margarine, some non-juice "drink" to top it off she has a year old bottle of manischewitz's wine! What I remember are crispy fried paprika potatoes, double yolked farm eggs, fresh New England style chourico & linquica.

Is our culture so removed now from real food that our elderly believe that the future eat like this? Or is it simply convenient? Is it less expensive to eat a prepackaged life or to buy fresh ingredients at the farmer's market? Or maybe we just give in to child like indulgence in late life. After all, she is adorable, perfect and 88 years old... thoughts?
