Meet the Critics

The Husband - dashing fellow with aversions to onions, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, mustard, unpickled cucumbers, and mushrooms.  Peas, carrots,
potatoes, and corn are the only acceptable vegetables.

The Children x 5 - their tastes are simple. If I made Hot Dogs and Kraft Dinner twice a day for the rest of their lives, they'd be happy.  But I am determined to expose their palates to more, and better.

The Cousin - university student who lives with us.  Finds everything edible, the easiest critic of them all.

 






The Sister - university student who drops by to indulge.

The Girls - assortment of ladies who drop in on Tuesday nights to pray the Rosary.  Very obliging in testing the latest experiments, especially the starving students among them. It's hard to be objective when you're starving though, so their assessments may be biased.

The Moms - dearest friends from Thursday morning Mother's Rosary Group.  Providing meals for one another when there is a new arrival or illness or loss is something we've done for years.   It's usually under one of those circumstances that a Mom and her family will test one or two of my copycat recipes.

Too many more to mention; The Parents, The In-laws, The Brothers x 4, The Baby Sister and her family, Friends, Cousins, Neighbors. To infinity and beyond!
