Even as a child Gracie showed a unique interest in food.
Perhaps there’s popcorn in the bag. Much later in life Grace created the popcorn as entree dinner for those nights when she couldn’t think what to fix. A big bowl of popcorn and olive oil, humus, soft goat cheese, and balsamic glaze to dip in. A salad and olives on the side. Fresh fruit for desert.
two favorite recipes Grace preserved in the end pages of a 1969 Joy of Cooking. Warning! Forget the lamb breast, it’s hours of work to separate the meat from the fat! Use lean lamb stew meat instead.

There’s a story . . .
Shortly after Grace died some friends held a birthday party for Vinny Capone, a street musician in Santa Rosa.
Vinny dedicated his concert to Grace, beginning and ending with Amazing Grace.
