Well, now, that is just a shame.
"I do have VERY fond memories of it though. :-)"
Hang on to those memories. They are the spice of life.
Corny, but true...;o)
I learned how to cook from osmossis, mainly ... hanging around the kitchen and talking with my mother and/or grandmother. Recipes were also handed down by word of mouth, and thankfully, my grandmother wrote some out; which I have. Unfortunately, a lot of the recipes, went to the grave with both of those magnificent, wonderful women. Still and all, yes, those memories are worth their weight in gold and then some. I have " taste memory ", so whenever I want to recall a certain food, I can still taste it; even without the actual food.
Nothing at all " corny ", in what you said. :-)
