In culinary terms I was luckier in my choice of mothers. It started with
her and seeing how much pleasure cooking well gave her. AAMOF, I like doing
all the things that my parents openly enjoyed, like reading, gardening, etc.
I did not like everything my mother made, but since she was a child of the
Depression, some of it was wierd. Waste not, you know.
