Sophia Quote #1790

Quote from Sophia in Even Grandmas Get the Blues

Sophia: OK, Queenie I have to make salsa grandioso again, and this time, I'm gonna teach you how.
Dorothy: Oh, Ma. Not the sauce, Ma, no. I mean, that takes weeks. There are 152 ingredients. I just don't have the time.
Sophia: Dorothy, for 1400 years, the women in our family have been handing this recipe down from mother to daughter. Each generation improves upon it in some way. Like, for instance, it was my great-grandmother who added heat.
Rose: What did you add, Sophia?
Sophia: A mouthful of wine. It was an accident. A delicious accident.
