My mom's food not that great. Per my dad, no salt allowed in any of our cooking because he had high B/P (he took that suggestion from his doctor a little too far).
I did most of the cooking from age 10 on. Visiting my Nannie? Another most wonderful story! Everything she made was fantastic. Roast duck with the most crackling skin! Potato latkes. Matzo eggs Matzo ball soup and her matzo balls were light and delicate and melted in your mouth. Even her liver and onions were delicious. Still miss her. She died at age 98 or 99. Now, I can't remember exactly when

I grew up eating Finnish pancakes on Sunday mornings. Has to be on the my favourite things to eat as a kid.
That most amazing little crepes! You also need a special pan to make them. The pan my mother used and now my sister uses has been passed down on my father's side of the family for over a 100 years. And Finnish bread. My father was mostly Finnish so we ate a lot of Finnish foods. |

I'm a terrible baker, but my Mom could make a grown man cry with her fudge and cookies. She baked, and i cooked.
Every year for the Academy awards she would bake a seven layer chocolate cake from scratch, and the 4 of us would eat the whole thing while watching the show ( with a bottle of pepsi). OMG it was good...but all of my horrible eating habits were learned from her examples. |

My mom was an excellent cook and my dad was a professional chef so there's a lot but I'll narrow it down.
Mom's fried chicken, papas con chorizo and pozole rojo are the dishes I remember most. Dad's fried squab, BBQ Pork wonton soup and sui-mai dumplings were my favorites. Oh and he would make burgers out of the leftover wonton filling. Damn, those were great. My pozole is pretty close to as good as moms (she used pork, I use chicken/turkey) and while my won-ton soup is good, dads was better. Although both of these are my family-of-choice favorites.

My mom would make me butter, jelly, and cheese sandwiches.
Also I would snack on Cheez-its smothered in cream cheese. Alas in my adulthood I have become dairy intolerant. But I'm still pretty weird when it comes to food. |

In the summer, after coming home from a long day at the beach, Mom would let us have fruit and sherbet for dinner. I highly recommend it.

Caldo Verde-Portuguese Green Soup-It always felt like a special day when my mother made this soup. As the soup cooked my mother would tell us stories of our great grandparents who came from the Azores and farmed in the early days..Having 20 children in all, and as a little girl running over to her grandparents house to help make bread or to wash the kitchen floor. She would weave stories of her childhood as she stirred the pot. Beautiful moments spent with my mom that as a child I took for granted..

My Grandmother would make a smoked fish dip with either bream or mullet. She would put it out with captains wafers before the main meal, like an appetizer.
My grandparents grew green peanuts every year. It was a white skinned heirloom peanut and it was smaller and more tender than the kind sold on the side of the road. We would harvest and have a giant peanut boil to prepare them quickly for freezing. We would eat them day and night for 2 days and then no more till my Grandmother would decide to pull a couple of bags from the freezer for everybody to try and "share". One year all my grandparents orange trees got killed by a freeze. They didn't get graphted(not sure if that is the proper term) properly so the fruit was never sweet again. They would use the juice from the fruit to make sour orange meringue pies. I can't explain the deliciousness that could never be replicated by my lips or hands because the trees no longer exist in this world for the land was swallowed up by the local establishments' need for a dollar store. My dad was part owner in an apple orchard in North Carolina and so for a couple of years we would go up there and help bring in all the apples when they were ready, I remember my hands being sticky. We would bring back enough to make a bunch of applesauce for the year for everybody in the family. It was pink in color from the skins. My mom would only pull out the applesauce when we had cubed steak or pork chops and although they were the entree, everybody was looking forward to "the sauce". I learned at an early age to enjoy the endeavor in acquiring these treats as opposed to focusing on replicating them later in life because somethings can NEVER be replicated and only celebrated. I love my life!!!

me grandma heddie was a baker extraordinaire... neva measured a thang. when asked how to make a particular pie, cake, etc... it was "oh a pinch o' this, a dash o' that.".
her choc'late and lemon meringue pies, red velvet cake and blackberry cobbler were to die fo'. the cobbler especially was a summer extravaganza. all the grandkids would go out on a blackberry pickin' expedition early mornin'. and while heddie was bakin' said cobbler, we kids were all takin' turns at the ice cream churn. great memories...

Auntie Marjory's Eccles cakes. She was a baker and confectioner by trade; I recall travelling on the steam train to Fleetwood so my Ma could help Auntie Marjory at her bakery in the market.

my mother was not a great cook. She did make a delicious scrumptious chicken soup. The aroma was filling it was so good.
She made fantastic Kugela or Kugel a Lithuanian dish from potatoes on weekends and we would have slices with each meal. It was good with maple syrup as well for breakfast. Dinners consisted of round steak, the kugela and some vegetable 80% of the time. It got old and i developed a need for salt. LOL Tastee-Freez cones were a great treat, i did not have them often so they were extra special.

Maryland Style Steamed Crabs!
My grandmother's specialty! Done in heavy Old Bay Seasoning and beer and dumped in a heap in the middle of a newspaper-covered tabletop. Delicious!
She died when I was 8. No crab has come close to being as good as hers was since - although I still love it and will eat it whenever the opportunity arises. I miss her.
