@Serenata You are still a happy person. My mother is a fairly modern woman, so her career are much better than cooking. For most of my childhood I ate convenience foods and various junk food.
I'll be pissed about my step dad putting cinnamon in my red sauce till the day I croak. Couldn't taste it, but did give that mouth drying feeling. Hours simmering, to have someone casually mutate it near the end.
