My mother, because she started working while I was in high school, and made me responsible to have dinner ready when she and Dad came home from work. She made a deal that if I cooked a decent meal, she'd do the clean up. My first meal for them was a tuna casserole. i used flour and water to thicken = glue. I also thought it looked dull, so added green food coloring! They ate it, but declined seconds!!!
Then, it was Julia Child (natch) and the Galloping Gourmet (still have my spurtle).
you made me sol - snort out loud!!my great grandmother, both grandmothers, my mother and my first wife; they were all such lousy cooks i had to learn to cook in self defense!
babe, the way you put stuff is hilarious!i learned to cook because my mom couldn't
I just bought "My Life in France" and am looking forward to reading it. Then the Julie and Julia book, followed by the movie.
