Thank you!
Finally, after a three week break & following an excruciating workout, we treated ourselves to a taco flight at our favorite taco purveyor: 2 Cajun shrimp, one brisket tinga. So meaty 
Incredibly satisfying, and made up for the seemingly prerequisite, random assholery encountered earlier in the day 
Tacos cure all that ails ya

Just some loser who desperately needed negative attention today 
TACOS are more important

Just part. And no, I didn’t make it myself. From a local market. I ate the macaroni salad before I remembered to take a pic.

Mexican Turkey Meatball Soup, recipe previously posted here on HO. I guess this is my soup for April recipe, looking at previous posting/mention dates.

Breakfast, technically… but I’ve never been one to focus on technicalities
A mess of last night’s noodle & pork stir-fry, following the adage of “put an egg on it.”

Quiche for lunch today, made a couple of these with a green salad. Broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, ham and Irish cheddar were the main components, along with some freshly snipped herbs.

Must run in the family then, or you simply passed on the care and love you put into the meals you prepared for them

I think it’s in their DNA for sure, plus, that’s how they saw food presented . We have a family group chat with 8 out of 11 grandkids contributing their food pics.

Oh, wow, that’s so great to have that in common!
My parents both loved food, albeit in different ways. My dad, being a child of war, did not eschew cartilage and fat (much to my sister’s and my disgust 
), and for him, quantity more often than not beat quality. My mom introduced me to “fine dining,” which at the age of 12 meant a French restaurant that served sweetbreads (I’ve loved them ever since). Even in the midst of her descent into dementia, she still very much enjoyed being taken out to dinner — insisting we go to her favorite restaurant in the summer of '22, just a month after she had invited us there, which she thought had been over a year ago…
With both of my parents gone (dad in '06, mom in '23), I turn to friends and food-loving circles on social media like this one
My sis likes food, but not to the extent that I do, plus she has some odd dislikes that she expresses in a way that would not imply she’s the older one (or an adult)

OK, I just freaking LOVE this! They’ve all learned from Nana, and they and their families all benefit!

I raised four really good cooks and I can happily say they did the same with their children.

Something that is often missing nowadays…I think everyone should at least learn good basics of cooking for themselves!

So true, the basic skills go a long way. Unfortunately, many families don’t have skills to pass along, so the kids end up not having a clue.

My mom always presented a pretty plate of food. And a pretty table. So did her mother. Even if the food was, by “modern” standards, unsophisticated. Special.
