Yes, reading the little stories he includes with his recipes brings him to life so much more than just the recipes would. This is someone who loved this business as both a connoisseur and a student and it is so neat. It makes me a little disappointed I never knew him, but also makes me feel like there's more to family than we think.
And that is excellent about the rings! How magical. My father's stepmother had a stone from my grandmother's brooch set into a ring for me and gave it to me when I was seven years old. It took a long time for it to fit me but I started wearing it everywhere when I was in high school and I never take it off.
