<p>Genealogy is a relative form of study. :-)</p>
<p>My <span style=color: #008080;><strong>grandmothers</strong></span> inspired me to cook: <span style=color: #0000ff;><strong><span style=text-decoration: underline;>One to plan</span></strong></span> tools and ingredients, follow recipes and pursue excellence; <span style=color: #ff0000;><strong><span style=text-decoration: underline;>the other to</span></strong></span> abandon fear and <span style=color: #ff0000;><strong><span style=text-decoration: underline;>improvise</span></strong></span> with what's at hand, with mixed results.</p>
<p>More than anyone else, i am <span style=color: #00ccff;><strong>motivated by my mother's willingness to try</strong></span> any recipe, born from having been launched into adulthood early and without much more than a Grade Nine Home Ec. class in which Melba Toast was made from scratch.</p>
