I've always been a foodie. My grandmother got me hooked on cooking.
My grandmother valued even the smallest of things.
My grandmother is a famous atlas.
My grandmother always would say, "This, too, shall pass." It is always true.
I always say I lived my life with my grandmother. She was emotionally stable, and she was very encouraging to me.
Failure isn't really an option because, as my grandmother used to say, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."
I grew up in the South Bronx, raised by my grandmother, who scrapped and scraped to make sure I had a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I was painfully aware of what it was like to live with limited resources and a certain level of uncertainty.
It was the day my grandmother exploded.
My grandmother passed at 104. She sang and wrote songs until she passed.
My grandmother influenced me so deeply.
