What self respecting cook doesn't hide ingredients? Two funny stories....
When I was a kid I HATED sweet potatoes - I thought I'd rather starve than eat them. Well, my mother made the best pumpkin pies every Thanksgiving. I loved them until I found out that she sometimes made sweet potato pies and called them pumpkin pies for my benefit. After that, when mom would make pumpkin pies, I would always check the trash for the pumpkin can. If I didn't find it, I didn't eat pie.
When hubby and I first married -over thirty years ago - he would only eat Skippy or Peterpan Peanut Butter. During the time we lived in Michigan I regularly visited the bulk food store where they had fresh ground Kraft peanut butter. Not only was it the best peanut butter you've ever put in your mouth, it was about 1/2 the price of the two brand that Ron ate. So I did what any self respecting wife/mother would do. I saved a Skippy peanut butter jar and would buy the Kraft yummy Kraft pb from the bulk food store. As soon as I got home I'd put the Kraft pb in the Kraft jar. Ron ate the pb like it was going out of style. I did this for years. When I finally 'fessed up he refused to eat peanut butter for months. Needless to say, he didn't finding it amusing. |
