I remember my mother rolling out dumplings. I watched something so easy make something so spectacular with just a little effort. In all her and my grandmothers cooking, I learned who loved, and who doesn't. You can judge a lot about someone and how much effort they put into cooking for you. There is take out and then there is homemade chicken-pot-pie, or home made chili with homemade corn bread. Life is too short to stop and pick the best basil for the stew! Happy mother's day all!
