You know you grew up Armenian if you mother and aunts stopped the car so you could run out and pick grape leaves. Here is a photo from the 1970's with several Genocide Survivor "aunties" and extended family sorting and tying the bounty.

Share your grape leave story with the group and bring on the yelanchi and sarma.

You know you're Armenian if you have at least a few of these in your home. Did your grandmother or great gran try to teach you how to create one???

I bet you grew up eating pilav but did you know that our ancestors from historic Armenia ate bulgar pilav?

That’s just one of the fascinating facts shared by cookbook author, Barbara Ghazarian, at today’s presentation.

What kind of rice did your grandma or great grandma insist on …..Uncle Ben’s? Carolina? We know it had to be College Inn, chicken broth, right?
