the most memorable meal my mom cooked for me was the last one she ever cooked for me - seaweed soup while i was recovering postpartum with my first child..... i would give anything to eat that with her again.

prepeeled garlic from trader joes in vaccum-sealed 3pack + garlic press. LOVE IT!
and speaking of trader joe's - love their frozen basil in tiny ice cube shapes in the frozen section. pop it in to a sauce and it tastes amazing in one second!

Dinner Tonight: Iron Pot Chicken

this was very sweet - i also recommend less sugar but mine turned out very SALTY as well... i was doubling the recipe but maybe the sauce didn't need to be doubled? i could tell the flavor would have been fantastic if it wasn't so salty... gonna try to figure out what went wrong and try again!

My Korean wedding banquet. OK, she had help, but I know her food and her organizational skills and so I can confidently say, she prepared this meal. And it was amazing and I will always remember it.

Mom rarely puts her heart into cooking. About twenty years ago, though, she prepared meat fondue -- that was great fun! And most memorable. Loved cooking my beef and chicken in the hot oil at the table. She also allowed all of us to make our own assortment of dipping sauces. My brother mixed grape jelly with godknowswhat. We all laughed. It's a shame we never had it again.

Her cooking and baking was so phenomenal, it's impossible to choose. She was always trying new recipes, especially from Julia and Jacques. I loved her pies and gratins.

The most memorable meal was when I was sick as a kid- it was very simple- cinnamon toast and soup. As an adult it is the best comfort food.
