My mom always patted vinegar on her roast to tenderize them. I remember the smell of it and that it meant roast for dinner!

There's something about the smell of a homemade roast that makes a person happy inside.

I remember my mother doing this.

It's called "fluting" the pie crust.

I thought it was just the coolest.    :)

Your mother probably made great pies too.

Bad, bad Tommy! lol

Yes CB, she did! My Dad's favorite dessert.

The smell and taste of my Grans clootie dumpling, never to be repeated since she departed this mortal coil.

Yum. I would enjoy this with coffee.

Getting an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas and baking up a storm. Started my love of baking that still continues today.

My aunts were given one of these for Christmas. They loved it. I made an F in Home Economics because I used powdered milk instead of flour in a biscuit recipe. I knew then that I would never be much of a baker. :)

Helloooooo CB;

My kitchen childhood memories include my sister.  Only.  We would come home for lunch to an empty house and refrigerator ... then try to find something in the cupboard. We became masters at cooking canned mushrooms and Bird's Eye custard (If there was milk in the house). 

The two of us grew up to become pretty amazing women in the kitchen. 

My sister was one amazing chef in the kitchen.  Her food was home.

Do you still eat canned mushrooms and custard? :)

Childhood kitchen memories.My mother had a combustion stove.I was sent to the chopping block every morning to cut chips to start the wood fire.AHHH! those were the days huh?

My guess is that you did not like doing this when you were a kid, but now you have grown to appreciate and love this memory.

What wonderful memories!  My mom cooked a meal every night and Dad didn't eat leftovers, so she had to start fresh. She wasn't a fancy or very original cook, but she put on a decent, healthy meal.

A favorite memory is Dad skewering chunks of marinated lamb (shish kebab) and putting the skewers on the grill. It had a rotisserie function, and the skewers had spokes near the handles, which fed into the rotisserie chain and turned the meat at a steady speed.  NOBODY barbecued the shish kebab better than my dad.

You probably know your way around the grill too.
