never wrong

"everybody wants to be a baker"....quote i have used a long time....usually when a chef tries their hand at pastry or bread making..maybe i should have changed the quote to be.... a chef....almost everyone has made something or tasted something usually from grandmom or auntie that they will go to any extreme to eat...or attempt to make...the grandma's union had the veterans change some recipe so only as a grandma could duplicate.....my grandma used to make spinach soup..some sort of Italian wedding soup but non veggie eating spinach haters would line up and push line cutters away for this...one day young Dave...the wanna be chef at the time..... asked her for the recipe...she said..."no i dont think so"..".WHAT!!?......why not??!!...after months of me asking...always with the answer.."no i don't think so"...she relented....i have my pencil and paper in hand she says ok...first cook a turkey...i said... WHAT??!!...she said for the stock...i muttered under my breath something about me buying some stock...she heard it with the super special grandma ears and said..."thats it...no more"..took me a few more months and she relented again...i thought being her only grandson she would give me all the correct details...i looked at her hands for how much a pinch was...i made her show me a ...dash...my soup was...ok to good but not the same...damn union
