I was 19 when my Mom passed and I miss her everyday. When I am in the kitchen she is always with me because she shared loved when she cooked. She didn't care if we spilled flour or if the cake was slight off kilter when it was finished she always reflected joy no matter what we created. I was blessed twice because my mother in law who truly became my Mom during our past 45 years of marriage continuted the love of cooking and I learned so much from her over the years. Making lefse every Christmas Eve and having big family get togethers for Thanksgiving and birthdays. This August will be their 70th wedding anniversary with another 3 day family reunion and lots of cooking. This past Christmas Mom created a cookbook for all of us of her favorite recipes, some from 50 years ago when they lived on a farm in Minn. Thanks you for allowing me to express what I have carried around in my heart for years , I appreciate what both of my Moms did for me and I continue to love cooking in my kitchen and sharing with family and friends.
