Angel Face


How many hands does it take to sift the flour for eierkuchen? Four apparently. Emery asked if I was going to send this photo to Great-Grandma (because this is her flour sifter). I reminded him that Great-Grandma had died (and hence her flour sifter is in our house), so we couldn't send the photo. He said, "Some people believe that if you light the picture on fire, she'll get it. You know, because of the smoke." Maybe, baby, maybe.

Wow! I never heard that before. So it's the smoke that delivers the message then? The things I learn from Emery! Liz, you're the only person I know who uses a sifter. Your grandma would love it.
