PJ, Thanks for reviving some great memories. My Mother has been gone for 40 years but I still remember learning to cook and bake with her. One of my favorite times was making pizelles. I still have her old stove top iron. She put the dough on the iron and I was in charge of timing and turning it. We had some of our best talks at those times. My son now loves to cook, though time for baking is scarce. I do that, bread, birthday cakes, cookies. Cookies especially with my grandchildren. It is fun to watch them learning to take care with cracking eggs, measuring and pouring. A skill and a joy to last a lifetime. Happy Mother's Day!
