My mother loved to cook and was quite accomplished. My dad "thought" he
could cook, but we would rarely eat his efforts. :-) My parents' kitchen was
reasonably well outfitted with all the basics, but not especially with more
specialized items. Mom was especially proud of her birdseye maple rolling
pin, which I now have.

I didn't get my grandmother's Hall poppy-patterned ceramic bowl - which
was a 4-generation baked mac-and-cheese bowl. It's the only thing my
sister wanted, so I let her have it. I later found one in an antique
store, so I can carry on the tradition. 🙂

Welcom Joyce 🙂 You are right the topic of cooking is indeed a good
one. I've always been a foodie but as a mother of four I know there
were some days I didn't *love* cooking however, I've always found
comfort in cooking. It's a great stress buster & you get to eat the
results so it is a win-win situation. Do you enjoy cooking? I hope you
stick around and share some of your recipes and cooking experiences with us.

I can understand that, and I'm happy you were able to find another.

For most of my life, my mother always had a simple covered candy dish that
was always out on a table and filled with either candy or nuts. For some
reason she put it in a garage sale she had just prior to breaking up
housekeeping and moving to an apartment. I guess she had no idea I would
want it. Luckily, I was able to find one exactly like it on e-Bay.

Yes, absolutely. As an only child I received everything that belonged to
my parents. I have many reminders of them, and it frequently brings a
smile to my face when I use something and remember them using it. I'm a
sentimental old fool.

My mother was also a good cook, but I don't think she learned it as a
kid. My parents always used to joke about how my mother didn't read the
directions. I didn't understand the joke until the last year or so (my
mother has been dead for thirty years, so you can tell I'm a little
slow). My mother was a war bride from Germany, and when she came to the
US she spoke no English. No wonder she didn't read the directions, they
were in a language she didn't know!

:-)

My father didn't cook much when I was a kid, but when my mother died, he
had to learn quickly or starve.

I can't help but smile at this.

As the daughter of an affluent family of the old South, my mother was never
even allowed in the kitchen. They had a cook. While my grandmother was a
very competent cook, she didn't cook. My mother never learned while at
home.

When my parents married in 1937, my mom literally couldn't make Jell-O. My
dad sent her to a cooking school in Seattle where they had moved. Her
meals became legend.

My dad passed away from the effects of arterial blockage, but it took
years. He was 81 years old.

Wayne,

That's remarkable. Our Mom's were so similar I'd say! I can't help but
smile either!

Great!!!
