The blue recipe tin
Evelyn remembers standing on a kitchen chair while her mother measured flour without a cup. The blue tin beside them held recipes, grocery notes, and one letter from an aunt who had moved north. Years later, Evelyn understood that the tin was less a recipe box than a map of everyone who had fed the family.
The dented tin that carried more family history than anyone realized.
