My Mother was a _____ Cook.
My mom is an excellent cook...I grew up with two Italian grandfather's with large gardens, so we had fresh vegetables for most of the year (growing up in California)...both of my grandmother's were excellent cooks...frankly we couldn't get a bad meal growing up....My brother and I were extremely lucky...and honestly until reading many of the posts today, I didn't realize how lucky. Even though I know times were often tough and $$ was often short...we never ever ate out of a can or uncooked food....
As for me, I grew up loving to cook, still love it today..even it does get tedious during the week after working all day. My son, who is 16 is also pretty good in the kitchen.
So thanks Nonna Emma, Nonno Fermo, Nonna Settima and Nonno Demo and thanks mom from the bottom of my heart...
Do some people's eating habits drive you around the bend?
LOL people...this is the funniest thread in a long time...I come from an Italian family and married into your basic WASP family...as much as I love my inlaws, they can't season to save their lives...also, my MIL and SIL have no idea how to set a table...drives me bananas...
What's for dinner Christmas Eve?
I am Italian and from Humboldt County, California....so the traditional Christmas Eve dinner is Dungeness crab, french bread and salad and lots of white wine...oh and it would be a complete dinner without sampling some of the many (7 or 8) different kinds of cookies my mom bakes....
