☕ The Zombie Apocalypse Story
Pic for attention: homemade creamer. I want to share a story. My granddaughter came over a few days ago and helped me carry jelly to the basement to put on shelves. When we got back upstairs, she said, "Grandma, you could make it through a zombie apocalypse." I said, "You think?" She said, "Yes, you know how to preserve food."
From My Kitchen: "Later that day, I made her some ice cream with my new Creami machine. You have to add just a little liquid to ice cream to start. I use my homemade coffee creamer. She asked me how I made creamer, and we talked about that. Then we finished the ice cream. While she was eating it, she looked at me and said, 'Grandma, you really would make it.' Awww. She is 11, and it won't be long until she won't think Grandma is cool." ☕❤️
There's something incredibly special about those moments with your grandchildren — when they see you not just as Grandma, but as a capable, resourceful woman who knows her way around a kitchen. My 11-year-old granddaughter reminded me that the skills I've spent years perfecting — preserving food, making things from scratch, creating comfort from simple ingredients — are not just hobbies. They're superpowers.
And the fact that she thinks I'd survive a zombie apocalypse? That's the highest compliment she could give. 🧟♀️☕✨
