My Mother's Cooking

One of the things I miss most about living in Maine is my mother's cooking. It's a treat to go visit and have the chance to sample all the yummy dishes she concocts. And concocts is the correct word too. Rarely does she use a recipe as it is written and, generally, the dish is exceptional.
The method she she uses when cooking is the "a little bit of this, a lot of that" method. Sometimes an occasional measuring cup or spoon will find it's way into her hand. It is truly a sight to see. How she remembers all the ingredients-what goes with what, quantities and entire recipes is awe-inspiring.
So, here's to Mom's Cooking!
