She didn’t like add anything special or anything. It was packets and water baby

My grandma used to make us “homemade” lasagna. And she’d make a huge deal about how hard she worked on in all day.
4 years ago we go t to day drinking together and she finally admitted to me that it was Stouffer’s. She said she’s never even made homemade lasagna. Ever.

Gives me hope for humanity to learn my grandma wasn’t the only one who used to do this.

They say when someone cooks for you, their energy or aura comes with it. Til this day, my daughter, who is 21, and I like it when my dad makes ramen for us. Not quite the same when we make it. Hence, food always tastes better when it’s made with love.
