Re: Hello?

Ummmm...wait a minute...I think that's MY mother you are talking about. Luv her....hate the cooking. My kids won't even eat my mother's cooking. They saw pictures of me when I was a skinny teenager and all of them chimed in, "GEE MOM...IT'S NO WONDER YOU WERE SO SKINNY...MIMI CAN'T COOK FOR NOTHING...YOU LOOKED STARVED!" I wore a size 1 when all my friends were in size 6. I learned to cook in high school just so I could EAT at home. My mother started selling real estate then...so I took over the cooking. My siblings were very happy...and so was my father!! He still comes over to my house so he can "get a decent bowl of pinto beans and cornbread!" (that's a staple in Oklahoma....like red beans and rice in New Orleans)

As a chef Zem, I appreciate that. However, you obviously didn't know my
sainted mother may she rest in peace. My mother had many great
attibutes...cooking wasn't one of them.
