My mom let me help her cook when I was a little girl. When I was about 12 or 13 years old she let me in the kitchen alone to cook and bake treats for our family. They were my testers! My favorite memories were the cookies and candy my girlfriends and I would make on long summer days. I was born and raised on the bayou and there was always a cool breeze blowing through our home. Back in the early 50s, we had no air conditioning! We lived in a small town (Centerville, LA); life was so simple then! Now my mom is nearly 94 years old and I’m 63. I’m blessed I still have my mom with me to sample my “treats” she let me make so long ago.
Thank you for the offer,
Brenda C. Miller
