I think it is just impossible to prepare the same tasting meal like our moms as the vital ingredient "she" is missing.<br />I tried many times to cook a soup that I and my kids love that my mother prepares when we are home. It is so easy, and still I never manage to have a soup remotely reminding us of my mother's.<br />I hope I will leave also a few taste memories for my kids!Judithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479149302649500281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745584622755876157.post-75809160866961873862009-09-13T04:10:59.648-05:002009-09-13T04:10:59.648-05:00It's amazing what you are used to - what is no...It's amazing what you are used to - what is normal. No air conditioning and still cooking like that = normal for your mother. I have a few food memories from my childhood, most of them not good ones because I was a really picky eater and I had strict parents when it came to finishing my plate! But I used to love "minute steak". It was kept in the freezer, had a picture of a seal on the blue wrapping and I think it was a very thin kind of steak that would get crispy when fried. They don't sell it here anymore so I can't say for sure, I don't even know why I liked it so much.The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516287894431519640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745584622755876157.post-79547073105584062632009-09-12T21:44:58.712-05:002009-09-12T21:44:58.712-05:00I love your story, and I can sympathize with your ...I love your story, and I can sympathize with your mother. There's a reason why it's called slaving over a hot stove! This was my first summer without AC, in South Carolina, and I thought I would die in the kitchen a couple of times, esp. doing dishes in hot water or baking bread. I guess those old-time Southern gals were tough!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745584622755876157.post-69773914406380389132009-09-12T21:44:25.080-05:002009-09-12T21:44:25.080-05:00Maybe your mother's art was her cooking -- may...Maybe your mother's art was her cooking -- maybe your art is your visual art and your blog :) (But I don't know how you cook. Perhaps someone will remember that!)<br /><br />Talking of taco recipes, I tried one about two weeks ago that was a big hit. Everyone loved it, and it was super easy, and I could do other things while it cooked. In this case, I tried making my own tortillas for the first time. (Way too much work for the pitiful results -- I'll go back to buying them.)<br /><br />Anyway, in case you want to give it a shot: http://www.mex-recipes.com/taco-recipe.htmlMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.com
