Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, we sat down for supper during the week at the kitchen table exactly at 5 p.m. My mother didn’t work. My father wouldn’t let her. On the weekends, my father did the cooking. He was a better cook than my mother. We sat down at noon exactly on the weekends, at the dining room table.
*** My mother didn’t work.***
Your mother worked, but she wasn’t paid for doing it.
“My mother didn’t work”?! She likely worked harder than your Dad.
.......... “On the weekends, my father did the cooking. He was a better cook than my mother. “
Same thing at our house. Dad was in the restaurant business, had lots of them. His advice re food: :
“Buy the best food you can afford and do as little as possible to it.”
That’s how I cook. Steam organic veggies and potatoes, lightly saute organic boneless, skinless chicken thighs and wildcaught Alaskan Salmon ((great deat at Safeway in freezer) in organic EVOO, Fave dessert is nonfat black raspberry yogurt I get at Trader Joe. Hard to find NONFAT anywhere else.
