Steemit Family Time
Conversation Starters
My Mom Couldn't Cook!
I will be posting one conversation starter a day for the next 50 days. Come and talk with me and my friends. Practice your English if you are struggling and we will help you improve through example and kindness. My Daughter bought this activity game for her children and I thought this would be fun to play with on Steemit.
First Opener
My Grandma taught me how to garden and preserve all kinds of food. My Grandpa and Uncles hunted the Pacific Northwest forest for deer and elk and fished the Pacific Ocean for salmon, crabs, and flounder. My favorite foods were her walnuts and hazelnuts she picked and dried. She could cook and can anything, but I will always remember her basement full of canned Bing cherries and dried nuts.
I would stay with Grandma Dorthy, my Mother's-Mother and crack dried walnuts and eat her canned cherries from her trees she had growing in her backyard.
My Grandpa and Grandma lived in North Portland, Oregon and had a huge two story "salmon pink" house. Yeah the house was an ugly color but it was well cared for. Everything was neat, clean and the grass was always cut perfectly.
Keeping the lawn trimmed was Grandpa's job, he ran a car body shop with my two Uncles and Grandma sewed clothing for people she had known for ever. Grandma made enough money sewing clothes to buy a house and flip it. With that money she bought another house and did the same thing until the day she passed. Grandpa died first in his 80s over 20 years ago. Grandma lived until she was in her early 90s and passed eight years ago. Between the two they lived a happy comfortable life. They weren't rich but they were secure and happy working for themselves.

My Mom wasn't much of a cook when I was young but improved over time. She eventually made the best turkey dinners with stuffing to die for.
Stuffed turkey always brings back memories of the holidays...I couldn't cook either when I first started feeding my family but I remembered my Grandma's example, if she could do it so could I...
