Favorite Food

[barq2]

it sounds like a wonderful memory and an even more wonderful mom whom raised you.

Nice post, barq.

Thanks Charon - good to hear from you.

When my mum was growing up, there was still food rationing after WWII (it went on for years because of half of Europe was destroyed). I think anyone who grows up in a situation where food is scarce tends to get good at making simple meals from not that much. When I was young my family didn't have much money. I didn't always appreciate it at the time, but even though making soup is easy, I'll always be proud to make soup my mum's way. Making food for others can be an act of love. Now she is old I'm sometimes able to make her the same soup she used to give me. I'm not so good at the bread - more of a cook than a baker. But I found a shop that sells the most real bread you'd ever get wrapped in plastic and it is close enough :-)

All the best,
