I fix 90% of the meals that are consumed in the ole AW household. That way I get to pick the menu. One of my few regrats in this life is that my mom isn’t around to see how I’ve grown into a pretty good cook. She learned from her grandmother and mom, both old school cooks, and I’ve got her recipe book, which is filled with abbreviations that I have finally figured out. A bunch of pinches, dashes, stir til it looks right, etc.
I do now understand how she felt when she put out a meal, that everyone not only looked forward to, but also ate it all up. Quite satisfying TBH.
