Mom how do you make...?????
I inherited a 17 year old daughter when I married her dad. She never really had a Mom around so in an instant I became a mother to kid #2. It had always just been me and the boy. He ate everything I put in front of him and the only thing I ever heard out of him was if something had too many spices on it. I always kind of puttered in the kitchen and had some morbid fascination with the Food and Beverage Industry my whole life. I waited tables to put myself through college/law school- but when I got married 4 years ago, something in me was born or woke up~ Im not sure which, All of a sudden I could not get enough of the kitchen/ cook books and the smells and combinations of the ingredients. I spent every waking minute trying out new recipes. My poor family-such good sports! We had some good-some not so good. I will never forget the night I made Raviolli with Vodka Sauce for "my hubby" from a jar because I was too tired to cook! Worst meal ever! To this day he thinks I cooked it & it was just a really bad batch I dont want to admit to. Nearly poisoned BOTH of us!! Anyway- off track- The daughter I inherited became a Mom pretty early on and CANNOT cook a lick. She started pestering me for how do you make this and how do you make that. Due to joblessness beyond my control I now have free time. So, I decided this is the year- she gets her cook book-I will write down all my recipes put them in a book and give them to her. My son will never have kids (he swears) and wants his momma to cook for him forever! So I started writing the recipes down for her (what a pain in the ass right? not so much)and fine tuning recipes that Ive always had playing with them until they are mine & just how I like them-I am spending my days playing in the kitchen, mixing, creating, tasting,~sometimes tossing down the disposal~ I took some pictues of the food and POW She has her "Mom's" recipes. I started looking at all I was doing for her and decided to take it one step further and do something for me too- I decided to write the book that apparently has been living inside of me all this time. I think I may have gone and lost my mind...
