I have not been able to duplicate my mom's vegetable soup, even though I have the recipe. Maybe she dumped a cup of tea in it, or spit in it, or something ...
Oh, and pie. I've never had a pie crust quite as good as Mom's. I suck at pie crusts.
Her chocolate chip cookies also are to die for; again, I have the recipe, but can't seem to make them taste the same.
Thank goodness I can't duplicate my mom's cooking - it was dreadful. My grandmother and dad (who was a professional chef) taught me how to cook. My mom's hamburgers were so awful that my husband used to ask, "Do we have to go to your mom's cookout for meat rocks again?"
I miss my dad's gumbo and his pear and pineapple cobbler.
This is going to sound really bad but I didn't like my Mom's cooking at all. I was a super picky eater as a kid and my Mom was a health nut and always make the same old bland food night after night;week after week.
She did make excellent chocolate angel food cake with chocolate butter cream frosting for my once a year birthday cake!
The long bus rides home, and starving by the time I got there!
She would have a pan of fried potatoes with onions in them.ham and beans, and cornbread! YUM!!

Sounds like my mom! Dad started cooking when I was a teenager just for self defense. However, it's grandma's cooking I really miss and she just passed away this last January at 94, and on the day she died, she cooked a full dinner with fried chicken and a completely made from scratch banana cake with cream cheese frosting. I found out from a friend of hers that she'd been planning to make a real mincemeat pie b/c she had a craving--she had even sent my mother out to buy the neckbones. So on the week of the funeral I made one instead, the old fashioned way, with pork cooked off the bones and all the spices and then I slipped a piece into her casket to send her on her way.

I still love them but they're hard to find these days.
Comfort food...yummy!
