Lol...
My parents have been foster parents since I was about four years old, so everything we ate was cooked in mass quantities. Because of the quantities cooked, the taste lacked. It's wasn't unusual to have had ten to fifteen people sitting down for dinner every night.
At my parents house now I have four sisters, four brothers, and two troubled children (whose parents couldn't handle them) plus my mom and my dad. Lack of taste was made up for with an abundance of love.
Now, my grandmother used to make the best chicken and dumplings in the WORLD. Guaranteed!
Everytime I went up to visit, we had lasagne one night and chicken and dumplings another. Ahh..trips down memory lane.
