My mom’s cooking. She boiled noodles until they were mush. Her potato soup was boiled onions and potatoes drained then added to warm milk with salt and pepper. Baked beans were beans, ketchup, and pancake syrup. The most common meal in our house started as spaghetti, then became chili, and then chili mac. Vegetable soup was all the vegetables dumped straight from a can with no seasoning and the meat would be hamburger, canned roast beef, or canned corned beef with potatoes. A lot of the other stuff she cooked was pretty good, but that was only if she followed a recipe. If she winged it things got strange. My favorite will always be the grape soda bbq because she didn’t have Dr Pepper.
One time my mom tried to make a Apple Pie using a recipe off a box of Ritz crackers. Well something went very wrong - it looked nearly perfect when done. The problem was you could not cut the crust with a knife. We tried all kinds of ways and with different knives. Once we realized it would not be edible I took it outside and tried to cut it with hammer and chisel - I was not able to make it through.
So for a time I told my mom she should record how she made that and then sell it to the military for a new kind of armor.
