A great tribute to your Mom. Spend as much time with her as you can. Lost mine July 1, 2014, miss her.

Cool as hell Paul, kudos to your mom.
Looks like Roland might have a tale or two he could tell.

Very nice, lost mine when I was 16, she was 37 Oh man, I hate to hear that. Way too young. When we got home from funeral, step corksucker told my brother and I. “ Well you two finally killed your mother”. She had ulcers from his nonstop bitching. Her heart stopped when they were operating on her ulcers. It took me 30 years and some help to realize it wasn’t my fault.

Nice Paul!
Reminds me of my grandmother.
She cooked until the day she passed..
Always wore an apron.
Always plenty to eat.
I’ve got a couple of her hand written recipe cards.
She was a lefty also… you can tell in the writing. 😂😂

Outstanding Paul! We lost our mother in 2017 at the age of 76. Diabetes and dementia took their toll. She was an angel on earth. Also never complained. A great mom can never be replaced.

Great post PB!
She sounds like a real treasure.
Miss my parents, I was lucky, they were both good people.

Well thought out tribute - kudos to your niece.
The stories of older love are so touching.
I’ve got Mom with me. She will be 94 in a few weeks. Her cooking days have passed - she tolerates, without complaint, my cooking. I have been her caregiver the past 3 years - an absolute blessing

Very nice article Paul. Your niece expressed her love and nostalgia in a way that I can understand since I’m the cook here. I’ve always enjoyed cooking ever since I can remember and I too spent countless hours watching mom and grandma…asking questions and tasting as we cooked. I’m so thankful for those memories and I find myself now doing what mom once did….patiently answering questions and hoping that a little culinary ability will be transferred to our children.
I lost mom 8 years ago but thanks to all those years of her patience and love in that little kitchen of our childhood home I can still feel her presence when I cook in our kitchen. I’d give up a lot for 1 more supper with mom!

I stealthily checked out and returned the cook books because my buds would have made endless fun of me for being interested in cooking.
