I learned to cook from my mother-in-law because I wanted to please my new husband 47 years ago. Soups, casseroles, puddings, desserts, cookies. Fried catfish which the men in the family have caught. Fruit salad in huge bowls at holidays. Barracuda poached in wine was divine. Chocolate chip oatmeal cake was delicious. Any Christmas menu taken from several current magazines and All Recipes, of course. Sweetened tea with salt. Skillet hash, had to throw it out.
