Me! I was just thinking about that, because my mother couldn't cook. But both my parents put food on the table for me and my siblings, sometimes I found out later, going without food themselves. They made sure we never went to bed with an empty stomach and that was the most important thing.

i have fond memories of mom's homemade tortillas, refried beans, tamales, fried chicken with spaghetti, stews, menudo/pesole

If we didn't want what Mom cooked, she would tell us we could have air pudding and wind sauce!
