Lovely to read your memories of those wonderful visits. In 1978, I had a relatively long work assignment in Philadelphia ...I lived on 15th and Spruce and walked to 4th and Walnut every day. Wish I had noticed your grandmother's building but there was no shortage of places to explore or to eat. I was just reminiscing about that time with a visiting CA friend who used lived in Philly for many years.
Lovely backstory! Some of my favorite childhood memories are about the different special dishes each of my grandmothers made. They both excelled with potatoes although each had her own special preparations. They lived through the Depression and felt you needed meat on your bones to prove you were healthy.
This looks delicious and reminds me of my own grandmother who often made something similar with kasha (buckwheat) Can I leave out the dill? Not my favourite herb
This sounds flavorful. I've been into cooking with whole grains lately and I quite enjoy the chew of pearled farro and want to incorporate it into more dishes. Open Kitchen has such inventive dishes.

It was delicious! Made it last night. Even the non-mushroom eating teenager liked it!
Thanks Elise! And he ate the mushrooms?
