It must have been quite popular at one time (and my grandmother reportedly loved it, though I never tried it).

Happy belated mothers day, Barbara. I hope you had a lovely one. My mother was traveling back home from New England after visiting her mother and my father's mother, who at 87 has decided to sell their home of 56 years (my grandfather passed in 2009) to move closer to her daughter in Cape Cod. It's very exciting but apparently has been quite stressful for her. Unfortunately we couldn't get the time off to visit mother/grandmothers but hopefully next year!Steviehttp://www.weirdcombinations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672100529698740014.post-76519072232026685542012-05-14T13:13:38.531-04:002012-05-14T13:13:38.531-04:00A great picture from all of you!

My mother, from Spanish origin, always made Spanish tortilla. I never made a tortilla in my life..that was mom's business and she was so good at it. The day my mother died, last year, I had this urge to cook a tortilla. Everybody thought I was crazy...when they saw me peeling potatoes....I cannot tell you why..but that night, the tortilla was there..I couldn't eat it, because I was crying all the time..but it was my tribute! I'm sure mi mama was watching me and she must have smiled!Cristina, from Buenos Aires to Parishttp://www.frombatoparis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672100529698740014.post-55291534529725601642012-05-13T11:21:48.660-04:002012-05-13T11:21:48.660-04:00That sounds really good.
