My daughter, however, can only cook with a 'step by step' guide and even then it can go horribly wrong!!!

Mind you it was rare as mammy was a great cook and the usual cry was 'Is there any more'! George - the thoughts of eating the food cold for our later meal was enough to make us clear our plates.

I did so last night with a baked ham and scallopped potatoes, etc. My daughters are very good cooks but the grandgirl can't boil an egg. I think these things run in cycles.

Magpie 11 - I had forgotten about a promise of a recipe. Jean - I am sure those hot dogs tasted really special! Baino - Elly normally sticks to the savoury dishes, although last Christmas she made brandy truffles and cakes for her in-laws. Maria - I can relate to that. My early efforts at cake making before the days of electric whisks and food processors made hard work of the task and to see a whole cake disappear in seconds, took some time to get used to. Nowadays I love to see a cake eaten in one sitting, alas, it seldom happen since there are never enough people around to do so.

Little did I realize at the time, how much love goes into a meal. I was a mother with children of my own, before I understood that concept. Why didn't I help with clean-up when I was a child? My father said, he would help if I would practice the piano the entire time he was cleaning the kitchen. That man could drag out scrubbing pots and pans forever. If I had had any real talent, for the time I practiced I should have had at least one concert at Carnegie Hall.

I do however have some handwritten stalwarts in my mother's recipe book which are die hard, tested and true. I guess with so much fresh produce here, I cook from the heart rather than the book. Ellie sounds a bit like my daughter who for now, refuses to cook anything that doesn't involve chocolate! It's my son who's turned out to be the chef.
