I questioned my step grandmother for several years to get the exact turkey recipe that was so very delicious 

  I was the only one that had the recipe, not her son nor daughter. 

My stepmother is no longer in my life, but I make the turkey for Thanksgiving.

How wonderful it is for you to have such a cherished memory! Are you still guarding that beloved recipe?😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Your treasured memory of your aunt made me smile, and think of my only aunt's holiday dinner disaster! She was young, and to help boost her kitchen confidence, she was entrusted with making the turkey and dressing. Bless her heart, but it was almost inedible. The turkey was all but dehydrated; think turkey jerky, and the dressing was literally cornbread SOUP! She cried and cried, and cried. I WANTED to cry as well, because my mother forced me to EAT it. She eventually learned to make some of the BEST dressing I have ever had, but THAT memory is one I would gladly sell if I could.😂

@SandySparkles  Aww, your poor aunt, turkey and dressing are tough, but we all have to learn.

@QVCkitty1 You are SO right!😊

I'll share the recipe.  No one ever asked!  

That stepmother won't ever be at my dinners again.  I removed all of the poison from my life twenty years ago and peace came into my life after a horrible experience with our younger son.

I would never expose my grandsons to her abusive behavior.

@ECBG 😮Wow! My apologies! I thought you meant she was no longer of this earth, when you referrenced her no longer being in your life. I am so very sorry it was much worse.😔 Good for you for protecting your grandsons!

My mother used to prepare some kind of casserole made with canned salmon and saltines.  EVERYONE hated it and she knew it; probably what she made it just to tortue us.

Maybe she knew how healthy salmon is for you.  At that time, salmon patties would have been popular.

You're fine my Dear.  I went into teaching to help those that were living in a void, I guess you could say.

Because of her social climbing, I have no memory of sitting next to my father for Christmas dinner.

When my mom would try to make Swiss Steak. We weren't allowed to be picky about foood so we choked it down (I drank a lot of milk to swallow it). It engendered a lifelong hate for that dish, the thought makes me gag. When I met my late DH I told him I would never, ever make it. Turns out he didn't like it anyway!

@Love my grandkids 

LOL!!! I was very picky. My mom would make something I liked when she cooked dinner she knew I would not eat. She was cooking for 9 of us. I'm still very picky.

I'd love to think that was the reason, but I know better.
