My mom wasn't a great cook, but she got us interested in cooking by the time
we were about 3. She could bake, though. We always helped with cookies or
cakes (she always cooked from scratch) and she made it fun by letting us
lick the bowl or the mixers after we helped. Oh, and she used to make all
kinds of puddings and custards - dang, the memories!

She served typical dinners, though. Meatloaf, chop suey, chicken
cacciatore, chicken noel, fried cod, and the ever-famous tuna noodle
casserole. My dad, every Sunday, rain or shine, snow or sleet, grilled on
Sundays. It could be -36F outside, and my dad would be grilling. I dreaded
Sundays because I've never been a fan of meat. LOL. Our family was of the
mind that you will sit at this table until you eat everything. I *still*
don't eat meat! :~)
