Good question. Can't be any good because no recipes were passed down from my great grandparents. The only Dutch thing I know is a "Letter S" pastry, an almond thing that my relatives love. My mother was Norwegian/German and they don't know anything about food either.  |
I would like to hear some of the physical injury stories.
One of my mom's famous cooking horrors was before she even started cooking that day. She got a fish from the chinese market. You pick it out of the tank, and they gut and prep it for you. The chinese style is to keep the head on, so it was a whole fish still. She goes to get it out of the wrapping, and said she felt the muscles twitch. That freaked her out and she flung the fish across the kitchen and it landed under the dining table. She had to call grandpa to come and get it as she wouldn't touch it after that. Honestly I don't remember if we still had fish for dinner that night. What a baby.
