My mother was/is a great cook. She was always trying new recipes; very few failures.

Oh hell yes. I miss her cooking. Smothered steak, meat loaf, mac & cheese, macaroni salad, chili, bolognese sauce, pork chops and rice casserole, Southern Alabama style New Years Day meal... I could go on forever. The only thing she didn't do much of was baking. Cornbread was as far as she'd go in that endeavor.

We had twice-killed steak nightly until my mother was retrenched.
She didn't have the time or energy for mastering culinary skills while she was working. She improved once she was at home more often though. Pierogies were my favorite, and she made a wonderful hot apricot/cream cheese pudding thing.

It was a tradition to make soup every Wednesday. My father insisted, must be a Slavic thing. The soups weren't out of this world wonderful but mom was proud of them. Well, after I left home, I attempted my first ever soup. I rang to tell her and she said "Did it taste like dirty dishwater"?
I was sooo hurt. I don't even think she was joking. (For the record it was just fine, but I've improved in that dept).

My mom did her best with cooking. It was hit/miss. Her meatloaf was very good. Only thing, you had heartburn all night.

My mom like white beans. She would cook until it turned into a white cement mess...yuck! All the broth burned out, so it was this burnt crust on the bottom. I say again...yuck.

My mom is good at cooking a handful of specific things. She would get stuck on repeat when we were kids making the same thing over and over again until she moved on to something else. I still can't bring myself to eat pork chops again.
