Grandma Wisdom from YOU!!
Hey everyone-
As you might know, my zine is a sort of etiquette/advice book as told by a funny old grandma character. I'm including some funny tidbits of grandma-like wisdom from my own Grandmother, but I also got some great grandma-tips from my group members today, so I thought I'd extend the question to the whole class. What's a piece of advice, cooking tip, cleaning tip, proper manners tip, or other bit of grandma-like wisdom you got from your grandma? I've heard things like; ladies cross their ankles, not their knees, food should be cooked with butter and love, fashionably late is seven minutes, tang orange juice crystals can clean a sink, don't scowl because it'll give you wrinkles.... ect, ect. If any of you have any great little jems of wisdom from your grandmothers, I'd love to hear them and put them in my zine, I think it would be really neat to have info from members of my class, instead of just ones I find on the internet. Thanks Guys!
-Ellie

Don't forget to use a tea strainer! You wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself at the luncheon commitee by pouring sooty tea, now would you?

When I moved out of my parents house, my Grandma told me that where guests could see it and take as much as they wanted. She said that she learned that from her grandma, but that was because her grandma only gave people one piece and no one knew where she kept it.
