I don't often let my 86 year old mother in the kitchen........
During the winter I will allow her to make her soups, that's probably once or twice a month. Otherwise I make all our dinners. But yesterday I let her in the kitchen for her one foray of the summer.
We went to the farmer's market last week and she bought about 30 sweet banana peppers. I bought 3 lbs. of ground turkey & she stuffs the peppers with the turkey and then adds a delicious spaghetti sauce over them & they are delicious.
We had them for dinner last night, two each. To our neighbors we gave away 7. That leaves us with 19, I think my one brother will get 4 or 5 leaving me with 14 I'll have to freeze. But that's okay.
And I'm happy to say, she didn't burn anything down. She often doesn't turn off the burners or leaves the oven on, those are the reasons I don't like her in the kitchen, also the fact that she often doesn't clean up after herself.
