Granted I'm not a professional cook but I had one of the nicest complements on my cooking today.My youngest son asked me to make my bread pudding so that he could take it to school to share with his class for heritage day. I practically started crying, so silly I know but it just makes me feel all fuzzy inside. I made a deal with him that we could make it together so that he could learn how to make it for his family some day.
Now THAT is a memory in the making, even I'm tearing up here...!!!
That sounds so wonderful. I hope you really will teach him to do that. My biggest compliment was from my neice last Christmas. She stood waiting for me to ladle the punch and she said "I have been waiting for your punch all year!". That thrilled me! BTW, Seattle is one of my favorite places!
I stopped at the store and grabbed some plain white bread, butter and eggs just waiting for my little cherub to get home from school. Isn't it sweet to have the ones we love to notice the love we put in our creations. It's been gray foggy and cloudy almost every day since I picked that picture, maybe I should change to sunshine and see what happens. : pOriginally Posted by brigid
One of the more beautiful sights I have seen in any American city is Seattle at night when the lights of the houses sprinkled all over the hillsides sparkle down across the water on a moonlit night. I am in love with Seattle. It is a world-class city with so many attractions.
I was scratching my head trying to figure out what the nicest compliment I ever got was, when it suddenly came to me while thinking about Christmas parties. A number of years ago I co-hosted one with my roommate, so I wasn't completely acquainted with all of the guests. At one point in the evening a woman asked who I had had "do" all the food, thinking it had been catered.
When I answered "me" she was just speechless for a moment or two, then asked "YOU did all of THIS?!?" and I just said "Sure!". She walked away shaking her head, probably thinking I was taking credit where it wasn't due.....still makes me smile, since I was fairly new at the game back then!
[h=6]Mom wants the recipe for the broccoli casserole
I copy and pasted the above post on my fb wall. It is from my great neice last Thanksgiving.
when my gd was 3 I had made choc chip cookies for her, I was in another room but heard her when she said "uuuummmmmmmmmmmmm" spoke louder than words to this granny's heart.
My sister in law in front of the whole family at Christmas table with 22 relatives ( mother of 3 and grandmother of 4) " Don't anyone every say anything to discourage Karen from cooking in anyone's kitchen) Wow!
I recently left a kitchen position at an assisted living facility, and word had spread among the residents of my imminent departure. They got me all choked up when they came up and said how much they would be missing my soups, which had only been started upon my first week of employment.
When they wondered what they'd be getting from here on in I almost cried, boy did that ever touch my heart!
Soup always has a health dose of love in it.
