my mother
the only reason, well maybe the initial reason, i became interested in food was because my mother always pulled me into the kitchen to help her when i was young.
the frugal gourmet was my favorite show on pbs besides sesame street when i was a kid.
i can cook better than most, but i think that's just because i like to. especially if it's for other people. you are not allowed to leave my grandfather's house without eating. he gets offended. i've also spent time in the kitchen with my grandpa since i was really little. he is a surprisingly good cook for a man of his generation cause he cooked a lot on ship when he was in the merchant marine during world war two. food is a central part of my mom's family's life.
my mother's nutritionist convinced her to start this diet where she is not allowed to eat meat and starch/bread/pasta together. something about it's easier on her digestion...i've been trying to tell her that for years *rollseyes* so my mother is a part time vegetarian now. i get to share all my tasty veggie bits with her now. it's kinda exciting.
