My paternal grandma, Surie, an artist and chef extraordinaire had a presence that took over any room. She thrived on hosting and cooking up a storm for friends and family,
Baked clams were one of her specialties. My siblings and I fought over them, crispy with their perfect texture, every bite was delectable.
