Thursday Two Questions Meme - Cooking and Recipes
I inherited many of my Mom's recipes when she passed away and decided to publish a cookbook with some of my favorites. When she was alive we always had family gatherings and cooked all of the meals together. I have so many happy memories of those times.
In celebration of my new store over at Bonanza, Jo's Collectibles Mercantile I decided to offer a freebie to customers and thought why not offer the same to my blogger friends. For any of you who would like a free recipe from the book and my Mom's archives, just email me at joanneolivieri@sbcglobal.net with your choice of either Greek or Italian and I will email a recipe back to you. You can also specify if you would like a food or dessert recipe.
My two questions this week are:
1. Do you normally cook or go out to eat?
2. Do you use recipes or cook from memory?

I cook from memory and by taste, somehow, though i have lots of cook books as well, but I am not very detailed in following instructions. If there is something i like when i taste them, i kind of guess the ingredients and replicate it at home by taste.
We mostly eat at home, it is so much healthier than most restaurants.
I cook mostly by memory for most all dishes except desserts. I cannot bake without a recipe.
2) I cook from memory, and some time from creativity. My son likes to look up recipes when he wants to cook.
We used to go out and eat a lot when I first met SO, then it dropped less by the years, and now mostly on the weekends.
There are certain dishes that I have to look at the recipe, even if I was the one who invented it. I can't remember everything and it saved my brain from trying to think too hard.
Thanks for linking up and playing a long this week.
To quote my Mom, it's not a recipe, it's a guideline.
I sometimes cook from scratch and sometimes from recipes.
