I like to say I didn't pick up any bad cooking habits from my mom since she was never in the kitchen. To this day (at 80) the woman still can't cook.

I know from the past, that you've compared our husbands' humors. But, yes, childhood cooking stories can be interesting too. Considering the lack of training you had in that area, you've become quite a success! Here's to bean broth!blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-84356323810839049302010-04-02T20:54:48.308-07:002010-04-02T20:54:48.308-07:00Blessedmama,

We all have stories like that we could tell. <br /><br />I grew up with a mom that not only hated to cook but was terrible at it. My grandmom did teach me a few things but she died when I was 11 and we lived 700 miles from her so I didn't have much contact time with her. Your bean story reminded me of some of my cooking trials and tribulations. Thanks for reminding me of those funny times.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-70880126828099605682010-04-02T18:21:52.504-07:002010-04-02T18:21:52.504-07:00Brandi, e-mail me. blessedmama@pacbell.netBrandi, e-mail me. blessedmama@pacbell.netblessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-19977802053952422582010-04-02T16:57:47.589-07:002010-04-02T16:57:47.589-07:00Blessed mama...lol

It comes in flakes and powder, and you can find it in that natural foods section in your store either in small bags or in the bulk section. It's a great source of protein and can taste cheesy or nutty, and can be tucked into several dishes to add a nice flavor and nutritional punch. Hope this helps!blessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-52520825865921135342010-04-02T14:06:58.976-07:002010-04-02T14:06:58.976-07:00Funny, I'm soaking beans right now, and it'...Funny, I'm soaking beans right now, and it's my first time!!

It sounds like a very similar story to my husband's. I don't think most kids know when they are going without, as long as they get all the love they need. We struggled as well, not as much as my husband, but I remember the powdered milk and spam very well. I'm sorry about the loss of your mom, and I hope you enjoy the meal you make in memory of her. :) Oh, and I was worried someone would call me BM - yikes. We gotta think of another nickname, girl. :Pblessedmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281648597707759434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-89491317239972155512010-04-01T23:15:08.755-07:002010-04-01T23:15:08.755-07:00BM- My mother and I did not have much money while...BM- My mother and I did not have much money while I was growing up, and she often served fried potatoes with pork and beans and fried eggs, it was my favorite meal. As soon as I saw this you transported me back to 1985, sitting on the step stool watching my mother peeling potatoes for our dinner! Thank you so much...<br />My mother died in 2006 and I miss her so much, but you took me back to a wonderful time in my life. You see, I never knew we were poor, my momma made up for it with her love and dedication to raising me...<br />I am going to make this very soon!<br />Hugs!crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561395185167982469.post-84546537936978112232010-04-01T18:49:05.523-07:002010-04-01T18:49:05.523-07:00Oh, good, Millie!
