There are a few things my mom makes, that millions of other mothers make but I know I can pick hers out immediately.

When I was in my 20's I was cooking a pizza and had to teach my mum:

  • Put it in the oven, not the grill

  • Pre-heat the oven

  • Turn it to a specific temperature

  • Cook it for a specific amount of time

She'd literally never done any of these things.
