Grandma Sorensen's cooking

The thing I remember about Grandma Sorensen's cooking is the smell of garlic and onions frying in bacon fat. I didn't actually pay much attention to it when I was living in Rochester. After moving to Minneapolis and having to cook on my own -- I am an unenthusiastic cook at best -- I discovered a spaghetti sauce recipe that started with onions and garlic fried in olive oil. And the aroma instantly took me to Grandma's kitchen. And I think of Grandma's kitchen every time I smell garlic and onions frying.
