A Massive List of Recipes

My cooking skills changed my sad mood, I learned them by watching patient mom in relentless motion as she put much passion in her tasty food... who could resist not giving it a try and carry on that devotion? In the steamy kitchen, she spent a lifetime inventing great, exquisite recipes; a self-made chief in her own right with neat apron and white cap; one must have thought she was on the way to the Emmy's nomination festivities to pick up her golden trophy...oh, I still laugh remembering that! "Don't stick your finger in my batter, son...raw eggs might make you sick!" mother ordered. " Wait until it's baked, then you can eat as much as you like!" I froze, thinking of no trick... oh, that spoon dripping with sweet batter I licked! Mom no longer could prepare large meals for our hungry family, she succumbed to grave illness, hoping I would take up that unbroken tradition... and it made her so glad, sensing the bond of her precious legacy; a massive list of recpes was the everlasting gift to me with profound affection.
