My Granny’s Interview
Do you like dessert’s and why?
Yes, I like desserts. Sometimes it just makes me happy to eat something that is sweet.
Where did you get the Sweet Potato Pie recipe?
I got it from my sister Cynthia who is older than me. I asked her for her recipe because I never liked any others until her’s. She could bake really well.
Were desserts something always incorporated in your family life?
Pretty much. Most of the time mom would always make pie, cookies, and cobbler, especially in the summertime. Often with every meal, there was usually a dessert.
Favorite desserts of mom?
Peach Cobbler. It was sweet and was good especially the top crust it was so buttery.
How many times have you made the Sweet Potato Pie?
I think I have made the sweet potato pie many times. I just follow the recipe and it’s easy enough for everyone to follow.
Fondest Dessert Memory?
Sitting down with my mom and she would cut me a piece of pie. She would set the table and we would just sit around and talk with all my 8 siblings enjoying dessert and family-time.
Do you think that’s missing today, families eating together?
I think that’s something that I feel is lost now, people don’t set the table and just talk anymore.
