What do you most like?

**Val** · 05-20-2007, 12:56 AM

The meal done by your mom or your grandma?

Difficult question, isn't it?

Perhaps your mom learnt how to cook with your granpma and now she can cook better than her.

BUT ...

When my grandma was alive, she gave me delicious foods as a present and when I was eating she said: Mangia, mangia che te fa bene! ...
it's Italian.

What about you?

You need to move out, dude. Aren't you like in your 40's?

Seriously.

Weak.

**Val** · 05-20-2007, 01:15 AM

sigh!!!
kids ... just kids ...
não Eros ... I'm beginning my 30's this year. And I consider myself a young man despite I left my house when I was 22.
That's it.

You're still 40 to me.

**MissyO** · 05-20-2007, 01:35 AM

^ And you're, what, all of 4 years younger than Valtinho?

**Val** · 05-20-2007, 02:13 AM

Let's come back to the topic???

My mom, she is a really good cook, a lot of home style stuff you can never get out at a restaurant, makes stuff like Lasagna, Black Bean Chicken Chilly, Beef Stew, Chicken and Yellow Rice, Flan, a kind of Pork Roast are my favorites.

My grandmother is a good cook also, but lately she stopped using any ingredient that was bad for you, which is oil, fat, and salt. She makes good soups. They used to cook together for sunday dinner, a meal that would sometimes take from noon time till dinner to prepare.

I never ate at either grandmother's houses as they both died when I was young. Mother was a fairly good cook but she made this vegetable soup which she though was good for us but which was very greasy. On the other hand, she made very tasty chili and hasenpfeffer (stewed, marinated rabbit).

I make my own food.

My Grandmothers both died when I was fairly young, and I don't remember either of them cooking anything too memorable. My mom is not a very good cook, but she did her best and I love her chocolate cake. I would rather cook the meal myself. I learned to cook from my friends mom, who still sends me cajun cookbooks now and then, and from my Italian college roomate whose family is from Sicily. I'm pretty sure they were mafia related. Therefore I can't share any of those family recipes, or I will get shot.

Oh the drama! Where's Tony Soprano when you need him?

Ask Flute, I think she knows him.

**Bill5461** · 05-20-2007, 12:37 PM

Can't remember too much of my grandparents cooking other than she did not know what we liked to eat and usually ended serving something I wouldn't eat. My mother at least served food I would eat

edawg99 · 05-20-2007, 01:45 PM

I have to say my mom.

My grandmother is a pretty good cook, and so is my mother. My grandmother has the skillz, but she's better at cooking the stuff that she's always been cooking. My mother loves to try new stuff. I like to help out though, cooking is great fun!
