I had that little tune in my head as soon as I read your post. I'll have it there for a while. Thanks! <br /><br />I agree that the food prep has more memories than the eating.

I have a few of those too but I try to keep them at bay because I just don't do well with them. I feel quite blessed that I have more happy, comforting memories to accompany my triggers than not. I would just be a total mess otherwise.

Our gourmet group works around a theme each month and in May, in honor of Mother's Day, we're all making something our mothers made.

It is really true though. I had to laugh at your Rice-a-Roni story. I haven't fixed it in years and just recently someone asked for it so I picked some up.
