I think those of us who are a "certain age" with modern mothers of the
time who embraced Swanson TV dinners, Chef Boyardee spaghetti in a box
and Wonder Bread missed out on a lot of good old fashioned cooking.

In terms of seconds.


I don't tear apart library books to scan.
Scanning works for me. However, I'd take a picture with my
cell phone if I was away from home and wanted a copy of some recipe.
Either way, I put the recipe in a word doc and file it neatly in my
recipe collection on my computer's HD.

My Mother tried very hard to make healthy, filling and tasty meals for
all of us. We had a boarding house with roomers who shared the supper
meal with us, so there were almost always about 20 people eating.

As hard as she tried, Mother was a dreadful cook. Almost bad enough to
burn water. My two sisters learned to cook in school and "practiced"
at home as much as possible, much to everyone's delight.

I learned some by watching my sisters cook, but mostly later at the
restaurant I worked at. I watched every move the chefs made and later
became a prep cook for one of them.

Until I was about 15, I thought *all* food was supposed to be burnt on
the bottom and/or top. I learned later that it wasn't necessary. Ha!
