Wife for four years. Mother of two so far. Both my parents are good at throwing things together. I was blessed to have been allowed/required to help and observe. Experiments My father always cooked on Sunday. He would set a fancy table and turn on classical music. Lazagna-cotty. I didn't have much to work with, but it turned out so good that I'm pleased to share it with anyone. Anything that I tried in my grandma's oven (mostly sweets). Everything came out "Texas Tan" according to Poppy.
