Since it is the Holidays and the stress levels go up- How about sharing some funny cooking stories to break our stress.
I have 2 of them One happen to me and one I read along time ago.
how traditions get started:
I read once that a family alway cut both ends off of a ham and saved them for soup. this went on for years, till a few generations had gone by and a great grandaughter finally ask an elder. She said she didn't know but that was the way her mother did it. Researching more, got ahold of a very edlerly aunt and asked her. She knew the reason, Because mama did't have a big enough pan to cook the ham.
Mine was one year I decided to bring Scallop potates to our Christmas eve family gathering. Pan to feed approx 50 people. Since i was going out to help my mother early that day, I decide to make them home and cook them there.
When I got there the milk on them spilled onto my car rug. It was a cold year that year. I placed some newspaper onto the milk and it soaked it up and i gave it a breif washing. Looked good so I thought. Then came a very hot summer. Well the smell in the car was unbeivable. Couldn't figure out what died in it. till my mother rode with one day and say did you spill milk in here. I stated Xmas when the scallop potatoe spilled. I then got the carpet washer out. Relief came.
Happy Holidays To You all.
