Ugh hate that. Provider changed in short order after moving here. We had zero issues with ATT in previous city so much better than Comcast. Here Comcast so much better than ATT here. They are burying fiber optic for this area. Can’t wait to try but at least Comcast is holding on for dear life

I’ve taught my DD hand measurements. She would measure every handful and add it to ingredients total and so forth. I taught her to look for thickness consistency too like dumplings and stews. I thank God for my Grandma cause she knew my Mom was a horrible cook. I knew it too from early childhood. My DD Is great now. Now that my son is over
Eating whatever he wanted cause he could I am now teaching him. Last week it was gravy. He isn’t there yet but he
Is getting it. Thanks Gran. 💗

I know how that is in terms of what my dad dealt with. My dad from a cooking stand point started to learn to cook from his grandma when he first learned to walk. Dad had a working mom before his youngest sister was born. His mom had his mother-in-law babysit him. She taught him cooking and some other stuff. Dad's sisters are not like him in the cooking department. His sisters belong on worst cooks in America.

Dad is a great cook, griller, and can do most baking. Dad is not as good as mom at baking cookies. Dad can do great at baking cookies depending the type and the nature of them.

As far as his mom goes, average at best cook. She was not the best at cookies, Thanksgiving turkey were bad under her. There is more about her in terms of her baking and cooking that I don't want to go into. I mean what I said about her cookies for a reason. Grandma used to give a plate of Christmas cookies for parents to eat at their home. What I can tell you is mom always been better at Christmas cookies than her mother-in-law. I know Grandma had mom make pumpkin pies for her for Thanksgiving although I found it odd.

I called it odd because because of her ego/pride. She had a jealous streak that even involves stuff not cooking. I was told that in the early part of my parents marriage, It was decided to have my mom to make the turkey. My grandpa according to my parents, said how the turned turned reminded him of his own moms turkey. The thing was grandma didn't allow mom to make the turkey after that because she couldn't stand my mom making a better turkey than she can. Grandpa also said the same with one of mom's pies and grandma didn't like that either.
