Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma (Eliza) Wood's Dressing, was the best. We used to eat it raw before she put it in the oven. When I was a little girl, grandma's house was where the family would hang out. Her kitchen was always full of people. When I got older I realized she didn't have much of a kitchen.
