What to do for Grandma on Mother's Day....

A couple of days ago, Tayshaun and I were talking about Mother's Day....

Me:  I think we should make Grandma a special dinner for Mother's Day, Tayshaun.

Tayshaun:  You don't know how to cook, Mom.  That's not a good idea.

Me:  What!?  I know how to cook, what are you talking about?

Tayshaun:  Grandma knows how to cook without constructions.  You always need to read constructions to make food.

Me:  laughing...  Oh so I need constructions, huh?

Tayshaun:  Yea, a REAL chef doesn't use constructions.

I wonder if Tayshaun has been watching me read the "constructions" behind the Banquet boxes a little too often?!   Guess I better cook him a memorable meal so he'll put me in his Chef category....with Grandma.

If he only knew....Grandma doesn't READS recipes.  She doesn't even FOLLOW them?  Something about her flat cookies/cakes tells me she'd better start reading her constructions!


Hmmm, now did that call for baking soda or baking powder?  Hmm and could that have been 1/2 cup instead of 1/2 teaspoon?  Geez, I added an extra pinch for good measure?  Hmmmmm...

Does that sound familiar Mom?!!!!
