Topic, Main Idea, Outline

Before I officially settle my topic and theme of my project, I'd like to update about things that recently happened and the problems I am facing at the moment.

My original plan was to collect the stories of Grams every time we cooked in the kitchen together, which at the moment is quite unfeasible, due to Grams' constant fatigue and lack of energy from fighting her cancer sickness. It would be too much to ask of her if we stuck with our initial plan. Thus after a small discussion with Miss You, I decided to alter the project a bit. Instead of cooking with Grams, I can cook for Grams in exchange of a story from her life. Then, according to the story, design a dish that can symbolize the significance of said story. I plan to ask her 5 stories from different points in her life, using these 5 stories/dishes, I can create a menu and present it to Grams in the end of the project. Of course, I will need to do a lot of research and put effort into the the recipes to make up a meal which Grams will be able to eat. I think this is a better improved idea.
