    Greatest Gen grandma would have cooked shit like that but she wasn’t daring enough. Seriously.

    “I put an extra 1/16th teaspoon of paprika to jazz it up!”

    I’d be an inch taller if I could have stomached her cooking as a kid. Dad (grandad) was too polite to say anything. “What a great meal!”

      Paprika…that was on Dad’s side of the kitchen. Mom only had celery salt and thyme, and I think her 2 ounce bottle of thyme lasted my entire childhood. Everything tasted like Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom.
