We were never allowed in the kitchen while mom was cooking. I guess we were too rowdy and she was afraid we would get burned. But, of the recipes mom passed on to me, they were precise and I still make them for the family at the get togethers and the dinners we have. Mom has been gone over ten years now, but the dishes live on in the family.
Through the years, I have asked for many recipes from other women. I love going through my binder and using those handwritten jewels. Sometimes it is the smallest thing that brings it up to a different level, right?
