[quote=Anonymous]My parents were both excellent cooks when I was growing up. Now at 75, my dad is still a great cook. My mother is 72 and is not so good. I think it’s 2 things: 1) She pretty much stopped cooking about 30 years ago when we moved to a new city and my sister and I went off to college. My dad has been the daily cook since then, with my mom just jumping in to help with baking (he doesn’t enjoy that) or when they entertain. So she’s out of practice. And 2) When she does cook, she’s grown very impatient and will skip or shorten steps. She made a rather sad apple pie at Thanksgiving because she decided she didn’t feel like peeling the apples, didn’t cut up enough apples, and got tired of waiting for it to bake so took it out of the oven early.[/quote]
