Memories of Rose Knuth

Rose Knuth, one of my closest friend's mom passed away Sunday, April 23.  I'll miss her cheerful smile and her jestful jibes about being a troublemaker.  Growing up, it was always a pleasure to visit, as whenever I stayed long enough I frequently got a chance to sample some of her excellent cooking.  Perhaps it wasn't gourmet cuisine, but for one like me who was raised on the basics with little variety, it was a treat to sample her creations while dodging falling walnuts on the deck under the trees.
