Personal Notes:
When Grandma Erma was younger, she worked in a hospital kitchen. One of the meals they had her prepare was pepper steak and rice with bell pepper and onion. It's so simple but is the dish I am most connected with in this book.

I can still remember her in the kitchen standing over our Sunbeam electric skillet simmering the meat and vegetables. I can still hear the dull sizzle. I can still smell it filling the kitchen. I can still feel my stomach growling with anticipation. I can still remember the exact force (torque?) in her wrist that she stirred it all with. She never verbalized a recipe, but in my case she didn't need to. I took it in. I've known how she made it since I was 6 years old.
