Introduction

When I got married I ate two cooked vegetables, potatoes and corn. Salad was usually dry and I usually didn’t eat the tomato in the salad. My beverage of choice with meals was milk. I had grown up in a family that probably overcooked most foods. If beef had any pink in the middle it wasn’t done. Vegetables were cooked until they were basically mush. This is not to say I didn’t like my Mom’s cooking. I miss some of it a lot, but like many things the style in food has changed. Vegetables from cans are now just a distant memory.    more… * About the title. I chose the title from a favorite lyrical ballad. If you click the link and listen you’ll understand.
