When I was little (preschool/kindergarten age), Grandma often took me along on her outings while my Mother cared for my brothers. Sometimes it was a morning outing with her friends - They would go to a Park to practice Tai Chi, then go for a Dim Sum breakfast. After that, Grandma would take me to the market in Fa Yuen Street to buy food for dinner. Sometimes it was afternoon outings to check on her small taxi rental business. Time with her was always so enjoyable.

Even though Grandma had never had a job, she was a Superwoman. She told me that in her young days, being the wife of the eldest son in the family, she had to cook for 20+ people daily! She said there was so much housework at one point that the family had to hire extra help.

Grandma loved to show her love for us through food. My daughter is a picky eater and Grandma would often spend her time making Cantonese soup for my daughter (and us). My daughter would always drink every last drop of it because Grandma's soup was so tasty.
