Lmao. Does her cooking make you nostalgic?
My mom regrets that she didn't learn all of her mother's cajun recipes. I regret it, too.
It does not. She's a much better cook than when I was a kid while still being a terrible cook. But at least her idea of offering me dinner is no longer a defrosted turkey burger every night.
There were also the dreaded dinnertime words of my childhood: "This was an experiment."
Because the "experiment" was usually something like, "the recipe called for two cups of sugar and that's too much sugar, so I substituted cottage cheese."
That sounds horrendous. Kind of adorable, though.
