Tonight I'm making cabbage rolls in the crockpot. Unfortunately we lost our stove earlier this month and didn't have enough time to replace it so I'm doing a lot of crockpot cooking.
I can see my anxiety turning to wanting comfort food. My mom's been gone for years but right now I miss her and am sorry I didn't pay attention to more of the delicious ethnic foods she made. Cabbage rolls was a staple in my home.
She survived the Spanish Flu and the depression. She worked in the bomber plant in Michigan during the war. She was a survivor and did her best to instill that "fight" in me growing up. If she were still alive she'd see to it that we would get through this. She would expect me to be a "survivor" too and I intend to honor that standard.
Sorry for being so maudlin tonight. And thank you guys for posting the latest news - WS is my goto for information. I feel safe here. Hugs.
My grandmother worked at the bomber plant and taught school at 17. She would pick milkweed to make parachutes. Yes i agree home cooked foods and ancestry have really been a theme thru the last few week and more to come. I watch alot of womens stories about the war and pandemics.
