My mother and Grandmother were great cooks. My mother owned her own restaurant and I spent alot of time there, I used to watch and ask alot of questions. As an adult dad I used to share in the cooking duties. Childhood favorites, Breaded pork tenderloins, My wifes chili. Breads and rolls Christmas cookies, fudge and quick breads. This isn't really cooking, but I have mastered caanning from the garden, especially salsa and spaghetti sauce and I love to make recipes with homemade canned goods.
