The most vivid memory I have of food was to never leave anything on my plate. I was to eat everything, be grateful and give thanks for all the food because people were starving in Africa.
My mom was great at a lot of things, but cooking meat was not her forte – it smelled good but usually had the consistency of leather and I would often spit it out in the napkin! Thank goodness we normally had paper napkins.
Be disciplined and never eat too much! I remember returning home from my freshman year of college with the added +20-30 lbs and my father looking at me and stating “discipline yourself” and exercise! My mother added “I bought you clothes for Christmas looks like they need to be returned”!
