But she was always an epicure. <BR/>I am sooooo not into cooking!hillgrandmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805698959846687562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19858202.post-75326074302064386392007-08-12T20:03:00.000-06:002007-08-12T20:03:00.000-06:00Yes, Eve, our Mom`s leave us wishing we cooked lik...Yes, Eve, our Mom`s leave us wishing we cooked like they did. We use all these measuring utensils, while they just used guess work for how much of this and how much of that- or a pinch of this and a dab of that. Still when they were finished everything tasted so delicious. <BR/> Since the Dr told me to watch the salt, I stopped using it in most of my cooking, so there sits the salt shaker so everyone can add their own amount of salt. Noone ever complaines which I am happy about.<BR/><BR/> You reminded me of all those lovely embroidered table scarfs and fancy embroidered pillow cases with the crocheted edges that my Mother used to make for everyone. If you had asked my Mother, she would have said she couldn`t do much and wasn`t very good at most things. Truth was she just had too little confidence in herself. Even in her 80`s she was still winning Trophy`s in the Bowling league she belonged to. I taught her how to crochet and it wasn`t long before she was making many beautiful Doilys, towel tops, and loads of other items. I remember she made an awful lot of mittens and scarfs for all the younger family members. My mom has been gone now for 32 years and I still have some fancy towels she made hanging in my kitchen, some crocheted couch pillows in the living room, Doilys of different styles and sizes on the stands and so much more. I learned my gardening and machine sewing from her. I remember some dresses she made for my older sister and I when we were young. Seems like our Mothers were good at a lot of the same things. I bet you remember many of the items that your Mother made like I do.<BR/> Thanks for the memories!Dotmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223020957303815620noreply@blogger.com
