This post is beautiful @mers. I think it's so beautiful that you share your personal stories along with this great recipe. I'm sure your friend, "Oma" Lizzie, will be proud that you inherited her cookbooks and sewing machines, because even after the years have passed, you still honor her memory. Not for nothing is it said that the dead live on in the memory of the living. Very good recipe. Best regards.
Yes indeed, the cookbooks are treasures that I will keep because they have those old original pre-war recipes. <Thank you so much for the curation and support.
