Americans take final recipes to their graves — and one woman is bringing them back By Khloe Quill Published January 06, 2026 Fox News A woman from California has an unusual practice. She scours cemeteries to find and cook recipes left by the deceased — and etched on their tombstones. Over the last five years, Rosie Grant, a librarian from Los Angeles, has collected 40 recipes this way. She says the food is "to die for." The idea of cooking and sharing a last meal of sorts with those who have passed away came from an unlikely place: an internship she had at a cemetery in New York. During her work there, she noticed a recipe for spritz cookies carved into a woman's headstone. She went home and baked 12 of the treats — before returning to the grave and eating them. That started her mission of finding other gravestones with recipes. "In the beginning, when I knew one recipe, I thought this would be a one-off," she told news agency SWNS. Grant, 36, has now concocted recipes ranging from Texas sheet cake and no-bake cookies to guava cobbler. The goal, she said, is to cook and share a last meal with those who have passed away. To date, she's created 40 recipes from beyond the grave, including meatloaf, peanut butter cookies, yeast cake and nut rolls. In 2024, Grant headed to Alaska to make one of the recipes with the deceased's family. They invited Grant to join them in Nome, Alaska, to craft the no-bake cookie from their departed loved one's headstone. "The family [was] so gracious," Grant said. "I went to their kitchen. I cooked with [the woman's] daughter and great-granddaughter, and we took the cookies to the cemetery." Grant called it the most wonderful experience she's ever had. These days, Grant doesn't get many of her recipes from researching gravestones herself. Instead, she is sent the recipes from family members who are hoping to keep a loved one's legacy alive. "I will also be sent recipes from people visiting graves, and I will [play] detective to find out who the recipes belonged to," she said. Grant then learns about the recipe, hunting down as much information as she can about the deceased. "If the recipe doesn't have a name, I will contact the cemetery or local association, where I can find their obituary," the librarian said. "When I find their next of kin, I will reach out to the family and explain what I am planning to do." Then they chat on the phone to see if it's OK for Grant to make the recipe. She also asks a few questions about the deceased loved one. "It is a tool to take forward that you get to do yourself." "From there I will cook the recipe to try it and check with the family that it's accurate or if I was missing anything." She loves the fact that the recipes are part of the personalization process of headstones. "It is a tool to take forward that you get to do yourself, an invitation to remember this person and eat the food they enjoyed in their life," she said. "I think I'll put mine on," Grant said of her own headstone one day. That way, her family "could think of the memory of us cooking it together," she said.

I used to think Carter was the worst. But now that I am older and can objectively look back at his presidency, I see what Blackwater stated. He was too honest to be President. Yes a lot of bad happened under his watch. However I wonder if a different president wouldn't have made things worse.

Keep posting them. I find them interesting.

I know it doesn't currently read that way but IMNSHO the exception should also apply from the stage to the ULT. Reasoning is that if the rifle action is found closed at the completion of the stage the shooter is required to open it under TO supervision to verify no live rounds are still in the gun. Same procedure if the shotgun is discovered closed at the end of the stage.

I have learned that it did.

Not sure about the others but the nice thing about MVA sights is that the staff is interchangeable across all their bases. One staff can be used on multiple rifles. Or you can us short, mid, and long range staffs on the same base.

Found it. Ver 27.4 (January 2023) of the SHB pg. 22. " Changing location with a long gun with the action closed and the hammer cocked (exception for rifle from the loading table to the stage with no round chambered)." There was no exception for the shotgun. Knew a couple that were awarded a SDQ because the SG closed as they were moving from the LT to the stage.

Thanks. IIRC In the not so distant past it was ruled that you could not move from the loading table to the stage or from the stage to the ULT with the action closed on a Shotgun. If while moving and the action closed, you had to immediately stop and open the action. If you took a step after the action closed it was a SDQ. When I went looking for that rule I could no longer find it. Only thing I could find was the rule about the hammer not being fully down on the Rifle. SHB pg. 12 " Leaving the Loading Area with a cocked/loaded Rifle: In such instances, the shooter will be directed to point the rifle safely downrange, bring the hammer to full cock if it is in the half-cock/safety position, then pull the trigger. If no round is fired, the shooter will be directed to finish staging firearms in order to start the stage (No Call). If a round fires when the shooter pulls the trigger, the shooter will be assessed a STAGE DQ and directed to proceed to the unloading table. "

If I carry mine that way the action will close at least 50% of the time.

Current rules state that the SG is only safe for movement with the action open or with the hammers down on expended rounds or empty chambers. This applies when moving from the loading table to the stage and from the stage to the unloading table. For some keeping a double gun open with one hand while holding a rifle in the other can be a challenge. During a recent discussion the question was asked as to why a shooter couldn't close the action and with the barrels pointed in a safe direction drop the hammers on the empty chambers. This would satisfy the requirements for safe movement with a SG and make it significantly easier to safely carry the SG to and from the stage. I've seen most of the tricks to keep the SG from closing but if one has small hands or suffers from arthritis, keeping the action open with their thumb while still having a good grip on the gun is not always possible. All the TO would have to do if there is a question is have the shooter pull the trigger BEFORE they staged the SG and the ULT officer could verify it the same way at the unloading table. If the SG is cocked, you can easily hear the hammers fall when the trigger is pulled. On a hammered Double the state of the hammers can easily be seen. I've bee all through the SHB and cannot find any rule that makes the above logic against the rules.

I really think that making sure the arbor has a generous coating of a good synthetic grease like Mobil 1 Red would go a long ways towards keeping the cylinder working when shooting BP. I also think that the brand of BP plays a significant role. I can tell the difference in the amount of fouling on my C&B pistols between the different brands of real BP. Graf & Sons BP shoots a lot cleaner than GOEX.

The elephant in the room that the media is ignoring is that Venezuela is deeply indebted to China and Maduro was about get even deeper in debt to the CCP. This would have effectively given China full control of all of Venezuela's natural resources.
