[QUOTE="donna723, post: 641726, member: 1883"] Cedar, I hate to admit it but my mother was a terrible cook too. Everything she made was bland, tasteless, dried out and/or burnt. My grandmother was not a good cook either so she really had no one to learn from. And my mom came up during the Depression so she learned to skimp on everything. Cake frostings came out like concrete because she'd only use a tiny dab of butter. And we never had anything she didn't like so we never tasted a lot of things like onions, broccoli or mushrooms till we weremuch older. I evolved in to a pretty darned good cook but it's because I learned on my own later by experimenting and trying new things. My daughter recently told me that she so wished they could have come here for Thanksgiving dinner!! She said she always remembered how good they were! And it just blew me away to realize that I am a part of HER nostalgia! [/QUOTE]
