Just as interesting to note were the things she DIDN'T cook: Tex-Mex, Chicken and Dumplings, Pizza ...
my sister was the one to introduce pizza into the menu after a high school home econ course ... not quite
blue ribbon fare, but it was awesome! We lived in the sticks so take out in those days never saw us.
I never had "proper" western-style Chinese 'til The '80s. Mom's idea of Chinese was "Chun King".
Holy Cow, that stuff was awful.
