It's very prevalent in our local culture to welcome everyone into our homes and invite them to eat a hardy Midwestern plate of meat, potatoes, and other garden veggies. My father's mother, my Grandma Cea, is well-known in our community for driving plates across town for fellow church parishioners, nursing home residents, and sometimes complete strangers. My son, depicted, is finding out too that it's nearly impossible to leaving Grandma Cea's without a full belly and contented heart.
