I worked at Habitat for HumanityPros
Great, friendly customers who care about reuse/recycling. Coworkers in my department were always hardworking. 10 day break between Christmas and NYE.Cons
Discontent between ReStore employees and HFHSTL proper. ReStore employees get paid much less than others in the organization that work in the office often when they have the same skills and education as their counterparts.
HFHSTL's mission is to help homeowners get homes with zero interest by "sweat equity". But in 2011 when the bank for HFHSTL forgave ALL of the late payments from homeowners, HFHSTL took the money, but continued to charge the homeowners late payments and fees on top of that. I couldn't stay there after that.
Directors do not give reviews on time; you have to contsantly "remind" them in order to get one.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Get rid of the caustic Director's who inhibit growth and potential of good employees. Give ReStore employees a higher salary to retain the good ones. The sales of the store more than pay for it while still contributing to HFH funds.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Sean Whalen Acting Classes!!!
November 8th and 9th
Improv/Comedy Class
You can't do comedy if you are self-conscious about how you look. Imagine if Jim Carrey wanted to look handsome all the time on camera? You need to embrace your silly side. I will play some improv games, facial expression games, body movement games all designed to let students get out of their heads and embrace being goofy and ready for comedy.
Comedy acting is still acting. The strongest comedy comes from the same rules that dramatic ones do. Conflict, intention, obstacles, specific choices, and the life that happened before the scene being fully realized. I make sure the students aren't just "surface" acting but finding the emotional truth beneath each scene. When this is taken care of, the scene is fuller, therefore funnier.
I help "choreograph" a scene like a dance instructor does. What are the beats? What are they doing in each line (teasing, begging, cajoling, manipulating,etc.)? What does that mean to them?
Lastly, we make sure the students know what the writers intent is for the scene. What needs to be learned about the character? How does the story move forward? Where are the jokes (Set ups, punch-lines, awkward pauses, etc.)? All of this helps to fully understand the scene while not losing our truthful acting.
Then, like a dance piece, the actor gets out of head, "lets it go", and it all comes together and flows.
Register Here:
Having scenes broken down and analyzed by a working actor, writer and producer is a unique experience. Sean wants to make sure you understand that you have to break down a scene with the full knowledge of who you are in the scene, who your partner is in the scene, what the writer is trying to say, and where it fits in the story. Unfortunately many actors think that if you understand these aspects of the scene, then it "puts you in your head" and keeps you from being loose. Sean knows that you still have to be open, truthful, and in the moment WHILE having full knowledge of what the producers and directors are trying to achieve. This approach takes your skills to the next level and gets you ready to work on any set or stage.
We know you may be familiar with the basics of scene work. My Audition intensive would focus on taking those skills and applying them to getting a job. I will cover:
1) Learning how to figure out how your audition scene speaks to your character, the colors you choose, and the overall story.
2) How to sell yourself in an audition.
3) How to be confident and why there is no other option.
4) How to understand that auditioning is a collaboration between you and the director/ producers/ and casting directors."

2013 middleware predictions by Red Hat's Craig Muzilla. This post originally appeared on Dec. 18, 2012.
Last year, I offered my thoughts on trends and developments that the market would see in 2012. At that time, I felt that we were looking at a continued emphasis on cloud, while mobile and backend integration technologies would rise in prominence within enterprise IT. I think the industry made progress in all three areas: analysts indicate huge adoption of mobile technologies as a substitute for what would have typically been a laptop or desktop computer; at Red Hat we saw an uptick in interest around some of our backend integration tools like rules-based processing and business process management (BPM); and the industry as a whole saw a solidification around cloud visions and roadmaps from vendors.
One area that turned out to be much bigger than I had anticipated was the explosion and interest in big data. Moving forward, I think applications will be much more data-driven, using information generated by the millions of mobile devices I mentioned earlier.
To-date, the primary use of big data has been related to the analysis of large volumes of information that could not be analyzed using traditional data warehouses. I think this will continue; however, I anticipate a rise in applications wanting to participate in either big data or NoSQL solutions. I expect technologies such as Hive, which allows users to do traditional SQL queries in a big data setting, are going to become very important and popular in the coming year.
Transactional or production-related applications will need to interface with these big data solutions beyond simple analysis to take on some action or activity. Where I predict the market will likely see the most activity is around technologies like middleware that have been on the sidelines but may now begin to develop interfaces for things like MapReduce queries, Hive, or even traditional SQL queries. In this way I expect to see the more traditional application servers and tools like ESBs participate in the big data movement.
Another significant development that I anticipate for next year is the explosion of private cloud. There has been a lot of discussion lately about cloud in general, but public cloud has largely been the focus. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies have both made a lot of progress from a public cloud standpoint, where they have primarily been used for development, testing and experimentation. I predict that PaaS will come out of this paradigm for production purposes. While very few applications are in production right now in public clouds, I think we'll see a lot of companies begin to take applications into production via private clouds.
A word of caution, though. Organizations need to shift their ways of thinking about governance models. Developers have much more responsibility and power than they did in the on-premises world. There was always a development process, and then an application went into operations, and operations took it into production. Today, we have the idea of DevOps, which is designed to empower the developer to not only work in the development phase, but then take the finished application into production and even manage it there. This model redefines governance because companies will need to think about what kind of responsibility and authority they give to staff members that may have not had those roles before. Ultimately, I think there will be a lot more flexibility, productivity and freedom, but companies will need to rethink their governance model to avoid running into problems.
In the near term, I predict the primary themes will remain the top priorities moving forward: cloud computing and PaaS, especially on-premises, will be important; OpenStack will play a big role in terms of basic cloud infrastructure for IaaS; and the industry will see continued movement in the mobile area. Today, most enterprise mobile activity has been around the client application with little backend service considerations, but I think we'll see a huge movement in iPhone or Android development, even natively, but requiring backend services such as security, transactions, enterprise integration, and persistence. As a result, I expect to see a lot of technology being developed that allows these mobile applications to fully participate in backend services and applications, and that will be a breakthrough for the industry.
In terms of big data, I hope to see a surge of technologies that seek to allow a broad set of applications, both analytical applications and transactional applications, become more involved. Whether this is using data in-memory, such as NoSQL solutions, or data management solutions like Hadoop with virtualized storage, I predict that it will ultimately lead to more data-driven applications. The foundation for this is already in place with MapReduce and Hadoop, and NoSQL solutions like Mongo and our own Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, but I think the interfaces required for participation from a broad set of applications still need to be built out over the next few years. Companies will look to NoSQL and big data solutions as a replacement for traditional relational databases or to reduce the dependency on them, and they will use them for a variety of transaction and analytical apps. I expect middleware to evolve to support this.
Long term, I think the nature of an enterprise application will change, especially as it relates to creating higher levels of abstraction, allowing non-technologists and business users to participate in the creation of those applications and mobile applications. Over the next two to five years, business users, consumers and partners will use tools like BPM and rules management that offer this level of abstraction to develop and adjust applications based on needs. There is some discussion regarding intelligent BPM (iBPM) now, but it still seems to be largely under the radar. The industry will likely hear much more discussion about these sophisticated and end user-friendly technologies, both in the cloud and in traditional uses, in the years to come.
Undoubtedly, the future holds a number of surprises for the enterprise IT industry. While my thoughts and observations here are based on some existing trends, all of these things are driving innovation. What's more, cloud, mobile and big data are all driving the need for innovation. Small pieces of innovation are happening every day in communities at the developer level. It's exciting to see and be a part of these innovations as they emerge, take hold in the enterprise and make their mark on the world.
Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Locals are encouraged to line for the streets for the arrival of the steel taking place at 1 p.m., which is coming straight from Ground Zero of the World Trade Center via Pierce Trucking.
The procession will start at Rice Construction and will then go down Cedar to Zachry Construction, where the monument will be made for the 9/11 memorial in Huber Park. Locals are encouraged to line Cedar Street and show their support.
The project has been overseen by Elks Lodge #1581.
The City of Stinnett is preparing for its annual cleanup.
The cleanup was discussed at the city council meeting, held Monday evening at Stinnett City Hall.
The annual cleanup for Stinnett will be held June 6 thru June 18, 2011. This year's cleanup will be different from past years. There will be disposal bins at the recycling center and designated areas to drop off your items.
With school just a few weeks from being out, the final touches are being put on the City of Borger's Park Recreation Program for the summer.
Annadon Keys, Johnson Park Youth Center Supervisor, said the program is free and reaches out to children who are in first through seventh grades.
"Our goal is that each child receives the same attention, rewards, and fun equally, regardless of financial status," she said. "It is very important for us to provide an exciting and fun-filled summer to as many children as possible."
Borger and Hutchinson County's emergency management coordinator has been hard at work on his higher education in order to continue keeping citizens safe.
Danny Richards graduated with a Master's of Science Degree in Emergency Management from Jacksonville State University in Alabama on April 29, 2011.
He said Jacksonville State University offers one of the best curriculums for emergency managers wishing to further their professional studies.
"The program requires an in-depth study of government structure, emergency response, financial recovery, and hazard mitigation," Richards said.
Managing Editor
Les Sharp is running for a seat on the Borger ISD Board of Trustees.
Sharp has lived in Borger for 22 years. He said he was welcomed by the people of Borger as a young science teacher straight out of school at Texas Tech who made him feel at home.
"I met a beautiful girl (Melanie Pepper) whom I was privileged to marry and we have been blessed with four terrific children," he said. "Borger is a great community and a wonderful place to raise a family."
The Borger Police Department is currently investigating a criminal mischief incident involving a local church.
The criminal mischief took place at New Jerusalem Church, located at 1016 Brain Street. According to Lt. Anthony Griffin of the BPD, sometime between April 29 and 30, 2011, several windows were broken on the church.

Top Honor Goes to Cardiologist Long on the Front Lines of Heart-Transplant Medicine
How do you keep a heart-transplant recipient alive and healthy for the long term?
That was the challenge taking shape by the mid-1970s, when Sharon Hunt, MD, was a cardiology fellow at Stanford Hospital. Meeting the challenge has since defined her career and earned her one of the most prestigious awards in the field of heart-transplantation medicine: the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation award for lifetime achievement, which she accepted in April in Prague.
"It's the biggest honor I've ever had," Hunt said.
Hunt arrived at Stanford as a first-year medical student in the fall of 1967. A few months later, Stanford cardiac surgeon Norman Shumway, MD, and his team performed the first adult human heart transplantation in the United States. The success of that feat (the patient survived 14 days) inspired other surgeons across the nation to try their hand at the operation. However, most recipients survived just a few weeks or months, and an unofficial moratorium on the procedure went into effect in 1970. Over the next decade, Shumway's team, which ignored the moratorium, made steady progress in refining its surgical techniques, introducing the heart biopsy for assessment of acute organ rejection and determining the viability of hearts procured and then transported to a transplant center. By 1974, 40 percent of their patients were living for two years, and 26 percent were making it to three years.
"By the time I was finishing cardiology training, in 1977, the survival rates for transplant patients were getting to be substantial," said Hunt, a cardiologist at Stanford Hospital & Clinics and professor of cardiovascular medicine at the School of Medicine. "The surgeons had always claimed care of these patients, but with longer survival rates they were getting opportunistic infections and other medical problems – things the surgeons didn't want to deal with. So they started looking to cardiology trainees to supply medical care. Like lots of people in advanced medical training, I was looking for a niche, and this one looked promising."
Hunt remained at Stanford after her fellowship, forging a path in this burgeoning field. Her efforts earned her a clinical assistant professorship in 1981. Since then, key advances in long-term postoperative care for heart recipients have stemmed largely from her research and clinical work.
"Even after the surgical technique for heart transplantation had been developed and operations had been done, the field was naïve in that people didn't know how to manage patients," said cardiologist Michael Pham, MD, MPH, a clinical associate professor of medicine at Stanford. "How do you manage patients who will be on immunosuppressive medications for the rest of their lives? How do you balance the benefit of these drugs with their toxicities in the long run? How do you identify and treat patients who reject their transplanted hearts? These are some of the questions that Sharon has done more than anyone to answer."
Indeed, heart-transplant patients face a host of diseases and complications that can set back or snuff out their delicate new lease on life. These are diseases such as cardiac allograft vasculopathy, in which the walls of the coronary arteries become thicker, obstructing blood flow; infection, cancer and kidney failure, all abetted by the powerful immunosuppressant that recipients take to prevent rejection; and many others complications, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
"Without Sharon, who took care of these transplant patients after figuring out their medications and complications, there would be no successful cardiac transplantation at all," said Alan Yeung, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford Hospital and the Li Ka Shing Professor in Cardiology.
The lifetime achievement award also recognizes Hunt for having trained many international leaders in the field of post-transplant cardiology. She has made significant scientific contributions (she has authored or co-authored close to 200 peer-reviewed articles); headed the recent development of international guidelines on the care of heart-transplant recipients; and helped pave the way to the certification of the subspecialty in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation has given only five lifetime achievement awards in its 31-year history. Two have gone to Hunt's late Stanford colleagues and mentors, Shumway and Margaret Billingham, MD, a renowned cardiac pathologist. The others went to Sir Magdi Yacoub, MD, an Egyptian-born cardiothoracic surgeon, and the late Keith Reemtsma, MD, a pioneering transplant surgeon.
Among dozens of other accomplishments, Hunt has also served as chair of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines Committee to Rewrite Heart Failure Guidelines, which Pham called "probably the most commonly quoted guidelines ever in the field of cardiovascular medicine," and as associate editor of the textbook Hurst's The Heart and the Journal of Cardiac Failure.
"Through the years, she has just been incredibly productive. Her trainees comprise the leaders and experts in the field of heart transplant cardiology around the world," said Bruce Reitz, MD, the Stanford cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the first successful heart-lung transplant. "She's also a wonderful colleague—the ideal colleague—who is very responsive, and with solutions and suggestions that are very helpful. You also know that when a patient is under her care, that patient is getting the absolute best care."
Hunt said the two things she likes most about her job are mentoring cardiology fellows and taking care of patients, "though I still don't like reading EKGs or being on-call all night."
What about her next steps?
"I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing for the next few years," she said.

worst cooks in America....was your mom one?
- suzigirl Jul 24, 2012 05:09 PM
Another thread just got me started. My moms idea of dinner consisted of au gratain boxed potatoes and canned tuna. Beans and Weenies. Canned spaghetti sauce and french onion soup mix over noodles. Pork loiin diced in bottled teriaki sauce and boiled. On Fridays she took all the leftovers and diced them into a pot to boil w/ water.... soup( I guess) and i mean all the leftovers no matter what they were or if they made sense, the things listed would be in that pot plus maybe rice and canned veggies. Eeekkk.... no wonder I can cook. Someone had to in the house so we didn't starve. God love her , she tried.
re: GraydonCarter
Do what i say not what i do should be their motto!
re: GraydonCarter
My mother is a dietician - so I will speak up for her cooking...as well as mentioning there were horrors along the way.
My mom got into food/dietetics totally as a way to avoid her mother's own awful cooking as well as her family's trend to obesity. So she basically had to throw out everything she learned about cooking from her mother/family and really start over. Growing up in the 80s, I think we got to try every standard vegetarian hippy collective recipe book - to mixed results. Lots of crunchy beans and brown rice, but some other creations that I still crave to this day as weird chilhood favorites (elbow macaroni, canned fat free refried beans, and yogurt anyone?).
The one strong lasting trend from my mother, is her strong belief that all salt in all quantities is evil (basically that enough of it ends up in our diets, so never to add it when cooking unless baking). So now when I'm cooking if I taste something and think 'it needs salt', or go to add salt because I "assume it needs it" - I never have a clue of what is enough/too little/too much.
re: cresyd
And now the latest medical information is that salt is not the evil doer that everyone once thought it was.
re: John E.
I think with all "food professionals" - there are very few that I have met that apply 'everything' they know from work in their personal cooking, especially when they have kids. Some dieticians I know are very big on "rehabed" recipes (unhealthy recipes made healthy), others are more fad oriented - but I will say that I know more than one over weight dietician (just because you're an expert in what to do, doesn't mean you do it). Just like there are physicians who smoke. Or who are overweight.
Also, there are personal tastes that override scientific issues. My mom has a huge sweet tooth and will indulge (occasionally) in sweets. She personally does not like salt. Now there are reasons to avoid salt for weight loss (it makes you more thirsty, and thirst can often be confused in the brain as hunger) and healthy living. But my mom's refusal to salt food at home was always tied to a personal preference as much as a professional opinion.
My mom's bad hippy food was also because she was a hippy who though brown rice, black beans, cauliflower and cheddar cheese caserol was the perfect weekday meal.
What a cruel thought, about the woman who got us from womb to here. They all did the best they could with what they had.
re: Veggo
I was in no way being cruel. I said she was a bad cook. That is true. Even she says she's horrible. I cannot argue facts. She gladly handed me the cooking reigns when i was 11. I am sure there will be others to agree with me. Some moms aren't good cooks. It happens. My mom just never learned how to cook and had no interest. It is what it is. If i went into full detail, you may faint. Ill spare you.
re: Veggo
Saying that your mom was a bad cook isn't saying that they were a horrible person. My mom isn't a great cook, but she wasn't awful. Her mom was a wonderful baker- but some of the things that she made for meals were questionable. (she did the dump all the leftovers together at the end of the week thing too.) However, I have respect and love for both of them.
re: ipsedixit
That sounds like my family's June, 1959 menu!
Not as bad, as it sounds.
re: Bill Hunt
Love it! Ha!
re: Veggo
You've never had my mother's cooking. For all her virtues, she hates to cook - or hated,since she no longer does it - and relied on packaged goods whenever possible. When I was back east cooking for her when my sister,her normal caretaker, was on vacation, she complained that I was spending too much time making "gourmet" dinners, which seemed to refer to anything made with fresh ingredients, especially vegetables.
re: Vetter
Thanks, and I like to be playful here, but dissin' your mama is like burning the flag. We'll get through this, and us "V" people need to stick together..!
re: Veggo
But what does loving your parents, and stating a fact that ones mother couldn't boil watter without a recipe have to do with each other? How is not lying and/or stating a fact dissin' her?
It's still love as long as you're not being mean about it. For example.
"Mom, you're stupid because you can't cook meat loaf." Bad. No love.
"Mom, I love you but your meatloaf tastes like sweat socks." See?! Lots of love. :)
re: Midknight
Some women in their 80's can take a little ribbin' and tough love, others are more sensitive and easily bruised. I see no profit in taking the risk. "Hey mom, great meatloaf. Where is the knife sharpener?"
Well, my mom always made oatmeal cookies without sugar. She insisted that the raisins alone were sweet enough, nothing else needed.
In fairness though, her beloved grandmother died of diabetes at a fairly young age, and she was terrified of that happening to her and her children. She thought of sugar as poison. Our "birthday cakes" were a concoction of fruit puree and yogurt, frozen in a cake shape--sort of a combination cake and ice cream.
I'm not sure my mom was a bad cook, but she was certainly an unusual one.
re: texanfrench
So your littel friends stop going to your birthday parties, right?
My sister might have been one of the worst cooks ever which is interesting because our mother was a good cook. My sister was talking to my Mom on the phone one time trying to get some ideas for cooking and my mother mentioned something about Bisquik oven fried chicken (the recipe is on the box). Well, what my sister did was to make Bisquik biscuit dough and attempt to wrap it around the raw chicken and bake it. I never heard the rest of the story about how things turned out.
re: John E.
Isn't that Chicken Wellington? ;o)
My mom used onion soup mix religiously - but when i want comfort food, i find myself reaching for the same thing. My fondest food memories are almost all from her kitchen - and the ones that aren't from her are from her mom. My mom's meatloaf with rice - my fave dinner, even to this day.
This is the funniest title I have read.
I have always read that people claim their moms being the best cooks they have ever met. I don't know if they are being kind and polite, or if their moms are truely very good. Objectively speaking, my mom is a good cook, but not a great cook. She and I have different styles of cooking. I would say that her skill is different than me, but no better than me. Nah, actually, I am a little better than her (on average).
My mom was a very, very good cook, and to this day I prepare several of her staples. Her fried chicken, however, was dry and her tasteless. And her sweet and sour pork? Well, the less said--and eaten--the better.
Now my maternal grandmother was indeed a pretty lousy cook. She'd occasionally create abominations such as leftover beans added to spaghetti sauce. ~shudder~
I don't know why the OP would want to restrict this to board members who live in America. Those of us who, in that context, are foreigners may well have had mothers who could win international "worst cook" competitions.
Mum got married in 1948, when Britain still had a number of years of food rationing left, in the aftermath of World War 2. That might explain her limited scope, if ingredients werent there. but it goes no way to explain her passion for overcooking just about everything. And then trying to breath life into by the use of copious amounts of butter. So, I grew up eating an awful lot of fatty slop. Probably a good thing that sugar remained on ration until 1954, so I never really got a sweet tooth.
That said, her cooking was a joy by way of comparision with the mother in law who is still with us and still inflicting her vile food upon the family.
re: Harters
We'll hear the rumble from across the pond when MIL is alerted to your post....
re: Harters
By no means is this limited to America. It was s tounge in cheek on a title of a cooking show here in the states. I know there are great and not so great cooks everywhere, but it sounds like you can embrase this post instead of dislike it. That's the spirit,not to smash mama but to say " hey, mom wasn't that great in the kitchen". We lived right? Can't be all the worse for wear
re: suzigirl
Thanks for that, suzi. I think we may have had a similarish programme here - called Kitchen Criminals.
re: Harters
<her cooking was a joy by way of comparision with the mother in law who is still with us and still inflicting her vile food upon the family.>
Ha ha ha This is awesome!
My mom doesn't qualify, fortunately. She was/is a good cook which is quite surprising in light of the fact that *her* mother was truly an awful cook. Grandma hated cooking, hated food, hated eating altogether, and didn't teach her daughter a single thing about cooking. My father and Sunset magazine were my mom's teachers.
re: knucklesandwich
I think Ruth got some of her stories from me. :-)
For all I know, my mom might have been a terrible cook, but it was pop who cooked breakfast and dinner. We had soup (Campbell's) and sandwiches for lunch; mom may have made them. Nothing fancy but always good.
The worst meals I can remember were the lunches at an English grammar school back in the '50s. Second to that, hot meals in Army mess halls in the '60s - but I almost always ate at the PX or off post instead. Didn't have that option in Leeds.
My Mom worked outside the house, and used a lot of mixes, packets, boxes, and other shortcuts in order to get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour after she got home. To my young self, everything generally tasted just fine, though I wouldn't try to recreate those dinners in the present unless I'm having a craving for comfort food like her tuna noodle casserole.
re: beachmouse
When I was about 10, realized that if I started cooking before Mom got home from work, it might (a) save her some effort, (b) save us some Alka Seltzer. In later years, she got better, but she never really enjoyed cooking.
re: pine time
Good for you (cooking skills) and good for your family. I had to start dinner, being the first one home (school lets out earlier than work). I always grumbled about it, but now I appreciate it.
Didn't have my mom in my life long enought to really answer this question. She passed away when I was 8, brother 5, and sister 2.5. Only food memory I have is her chicken catiatore (spelling?) served in a bowl I still have that only was used for spaghetti. My grandmother stepped into the family and took over till we were old enough to be "home alone". She was a good cook, nothing fancy, and pretty much no recipes for stuff... a little of this, a little of that.
My Dad was a pretty good cook but had some DISASTERS along the way. He was hard-gheaded and stubborn. It was obvious that he went out of his way to seriously deviated from a recipe. He made HIS verion of coq au vin... and used "cold duck"... it was NOT good! He dabbled in wine making?!? Made one batch that was actually pretty good... but never wrote down what he did... think he did that on PURPOSE! The next batch... coulda been good for stripping paint!
My mother was a pretty good cook, and self taught. Her Slovak mother wouldn't let the kids cook and take a chance of ruining food, so her daughters had to learn when they were on their own. Unfortunately, Grandma couldn't describe how to make her delicious meals (a handful of this, a little of that), so my mother used the Joy of Cooking and magazine recipes to teach herself. Now and then I come across one of my mother's dishes in Joy, never having realized that's where she got the recipe.
I remember one time when I was a child, my mother was making me cinnamon toast in the morning. However, instead of using cinnamon, she used pepper.
Let's just say that I didn't eat it.
No, but she was not great either.
My wife is a much better cook, and I have told her (and others) so. There WERE a few dishes, that my mother did well, and my wife has adopted and adapted a few of those. Same for a particular dish from my paternal grandmother, though we had to reconstruct the recipe from my only shopping with her, when I was about 6. Still, we managed to get it down, on about the 5th try.
Actually, I am probably a better cook, than my mother was, but it is about a totally different philosophy, and also a different time. She cooked food, so that one could "eat to live," where I (and my wife to a greater degree), cook so that one can "live to eat."
As far as a different "time," canned food was still pretty new, and frozen food was very new. My mother felt that only "poor people" ate "fresh food" from a farm. That was a mistake, but I understand how she made it. The "Great Depression" was still pretty fresh on her mind, and WWII, with the rationing, etc., was very fresh in her memory. We were in the "post-war" affluent society, and she wanted to leave the farm behind. That was a mistake, but easily overlooked, due to those times.
Still, we ate fine, and existed just fine, though there was a lack of "spirit" in the food. My wife brought that.
re: Bill Hunt
Mom grew up on a farm, doing very hard physical work from childhood on, so once commericial canned and frozen foods were available, they were her saviors from labor. I understand, but would love to have had the fresh butter, milk, meat, eggs she grew up with.
re: Bill Hunt
What are the family recipes you adapted/reconstructed?
My mother was a fantastic baker but fair cook on a good day. One of her favorite stories was when she got married she had gone to the butcher and asked for a roast and he said what kind and she said the kind you cook on Sunday. There were two spices in our house until I was a teenager. Salt and Pepper. Meat was well done or burnt. The upside though is my 3 siblings and myself all learned to cook at an early age and the 4 of us are better than average cooks and two of us are pretty decent bakers. She learned, we learned better. Now we just have to get our children to think we are lousy cooks so they can be better cooks and surpass us.
I don't see this as any sign of disrespect or lack of appreciation for our mothers--in their generation, women did the cooking, period, whether they liked it or were any good at it or not. My mother was absolutely not cut out to be a cook, as she had some kind of OCD that made her deathly afraid of germs. She only used frozen vegetables, as fresh ones might be dirty and would take hours to sanitize; only cooked inside the oven, never on top of the stove, as that might make a mess, so the hamburgers routinely caught fire and the bacon was broiled to unrecognizability; and needless to say all meat was dry and overdone. Toward the end she started making these insane combinations--she once tried to get me to feed a baby something that involved a microwaved egg and lemon yogurt, and I once saw her mix leftover Chinese food with a can of tuna and spread it on bread for a sandwich for my father (and yes, he ate it.) When I went off to college I was basically unfamiliar with actual food.
Not my mom, but my Granny. When people hear I have a Mexican grandmother, they start salivating and imagining homemade tortillas, tamales, etc... Nope, not unless she bought them from the neighbor. My Granny cooks everything on the highest heat possible. But growing up with that, it is what I was used to. The first time I ordered chorizo and eggs in a restaurant, I was horrified because I thought they were serving it to me raw. My mother had to explain to me the chorizo is not supposed to be black.
My mom was a pretty good cook, but as life went on, she drifted away from cooking complete meals and has more snacky-type meals: a can of green beans at home, potato skins at a restaurant, etc. I visit twice a year. Mom is pretty opinionated and outspoken, and the way she does things is the only way. During our visit, one evening I asked whether she'd mind if I tore a muffin recipe out of a paper. Her response, regarding how stupid it would be to go to all the trouble to bake something when you can just buy pastry at Wal-Mart, on top of my frazzled nerves from talking with her all day, made me cry ... thankfully, an hour or two later, after we'd left for the evening. Sigh.
re: occula
Heh heh. My mother-in-law makes me cry. And it has nothing to do with food!
(And dear, if you happen to read this, I'm just joking!)
My mother was a horrible cook, but luckily dad did okay. My grandmother, who was the kindest woman on this earth was the WORST. And she admitted it. She was so afraid of foodborne illnesses that she overcooked everything. And used the same several boring recipes all her life. She passed away earlier in the year, and I spent several months with my pappy to ensure he'd adjust and be okay, and he was almost mystified by the meals that I served him. He always would clean his plate and look at me and say "You cooked this? In the kitchen? My oh my". And he was watching me prepare a chicken to raost one afternoon and told me how much he loved my grammy, what a good wife she was, but she was just such a shitty cook. It cracked me up!
My mom was a horrible cook (but a wonderful person!). She would cook a piece of meat to well done, then cook it some more, just to make sure it was done. I never knew pork could be juicy and flavorful. I didn't realize that I really liked steaks, until I was old enough to move out of the house!
re: Burghfeeder
Don't think I knew that turkey had any juice until I cooked my 3rd or 4th one--had used Mom's "recipe" (cook until leathery).
My mother was not a good cook. (My mother is still living, but I believe my father has pretty much taken over cooking since he retired.) She did not try her best, because she considered cooking a tedious chore to be done with minimal time and effort. This wasn't because she was pressed for time. The time frame I'm talking about was early 70s to mid 80s, when she was a stay-at-home mom with all three kids in school.
I don't know whether I can say that she was among the very worst cooks in America, as the post-war era was not a golden age of home-cooking in the U.S. Many of her not-so-great offerings were typical back then, canned vegetables, store-bought white bread, cake mixes, and iceberg lettuce and bottled "French" dressing salads. But in some ways, we were spared some of the worst types of home cooking. She never used instant mashed potatoes or made anything involving canned cream of mushroom soup. Her fried pork chops (every Tuesday) were pretty good. Her stuffed cabbage was very good, but she only made it once a year because it was "so much work."
As for whether she was in the bottom 5 or 10 percentile of home cooks, I offer these exhibits:
Something called "Sunday special." When I asked what "Sunday special" was, she replied that it was "roast." When I asked, "roast what?" She replied "roast Sunday special." (When I read about concerns that Siberian peasants helped themselves to a wooly mammoth uncovered by an avalanche, I wondered if that was the Sunday special secret.) Actually, it was a chuck roast, laid in a dry Pyrex baking dish, surrounded by potatoes and carrots. Cooked at 350 for 4-5 hours until there was not a moist molecule to be found. Occasionally spruced up with jarred beef gravy. My mother had no notion at all of braising.
"Macaroni" was my mother's term of a dump-and-stir meal of ground beef, elbow macaroni, canned pork and beans, and canned stewed tomatoes. If not for the tomato, it might have been tolerably palatable, but those slimy tomatoes over everything made it impossible for me.
Wednesday was "soup" night. "Soup" consisted of a turkey leg or pieces of chuck (poor chuck) simmered or boiled for several hours with noddles, carrots, and whole allspice and served in the cooking water. It was pretty much downhill after I ate the allspice balls.
Among the worst cooks in America? I'll let the jury decide.
re: MrsBridges
I've made this statement before, but here it is again. If iceberg lettuce were rare, difficult to grow, and expensive, all the top chefs would be serving it in their restaurants.
re: John E.
And I've applauded this statement before.
re: MrsBridges
Ah, yes, I remember my mother's 'poor chuck'!
I owe a lot to my mom's cooking. I just think back to what she did, and I do the opposite. Her worst sin, the one she may never be forgiven for, was taking canned asparagus and then overcooking it. I never knew that vegetables had an actual taste and texture beyond yucky mush until I started to cook them myself. I know love asparagus. The only veggie I would eat when I was a kid was raw peas. I love them. Mom never figured out that lightly cooking veggies would be the way to go.
My mother was a dab hand in the kitchen. Her skill set, honed by a farm upbringing, was impressive. She didn't really shirk from many kitchen tasks. She loved cooking, and was a little obsessive with reading recipes and food articles. We had a huge garden, hunted lots of game, had the freshest eggs and meat from neighboring farmers. But for all that input, the output was really...well, bland and boring.
You see, in addition to all of the above, she had my father to contend with. My father truly believes that there should be no other seasoning than salt and pepper (and light on the pepper! No fresh ground nonsense!), was vehemently against condiments other than a dab of catsup, and gawds forbid anything even vaguely "foreign" be on the table. And his word was law. Elsewise, he would refuse to eat. So mom had a very limited range within which to work. She did sneak cloves of garlic into the jars of pickles we'd put up by the dozens every summer, but we kids were charged with fetching the pickles jars when needed, and we knew to fish out the garlic before dad could see it. He'd have shot through the roof seeing garlic. And any other flavor-inflicting sauce/herb/spice...you get the picture. He'd actually throw out spices and condiments she'd purchased, so she wouldn't "inflict" them upon him.
Dad did not have a job that required any travel, but on those rare occasions he left for a few days, mom got to play with seasoning food! She was at her shining best then. Too bad she didn't get to practice what she clearly loved on an intellectual basis.
I wonder how many of the moms (or dads) who are remembered as lousy cooks just never had the chance, due to a similar spousal situation? My mom, in her later years, loved to be in my kitchen, sampling favors and ogling spices and condiments. My dad, still set in his ways, complains over the phone from 150 miles away if he hears any cooking noises happening in the background. "I suppose you're using garlic, aren't you?" (Yes, my dad may well be a vampire, but his schedule is wrong.) He's an old dog who likes his old tricks, and I accommodate when I am cooking for him, but it gets a little onerous. I sympathize with my mom, and forgive her all the blandness.
Has anyone else floated in that boat? My mom was good, but could have been great given some rein. Dad squashed it. I guess you all know on what side of that parental argument I fall.
ETA: We did have some great simple food, no question. But the realm of food growing up was rather truncated by one very pushy person with a very (self-admitted) limited palate.

Cerys Matthews Pregnant
Former CATATONIA frontwoman CERYS MATTHEWS is expecting her first child.
The Welsh rocker is four months pregnant and friends say she is in "seventh heaven".
The news marks the end of a tumultuous 18 months for Cerys - who married American songwriter SETH RIDDLE in February (03).
In September 2001 the singer left Catatonia after spending six weeks in a rehab clinic to treat alcoholism.
But she has made a dramatic recovery and now has a baby on the way and a new solo album hitting record stores next month (MAY03).
A pal says, "After Catatonia split she was rock bottom and couldn't see any way out.
"She had massive problems with drink that were well publicised.
"But she feels so happy and calm now. Married life is great and she can't wait to be a mum."

Matt Breunig at Gawker argues that riots save money and he puts a dollar figure on it. He writes: "one need look no further than famous economist and Nobel laureate Gary Becker to see how this is true. According to Becker, punishing bad behavior increases the costs of engaging in such behavior and thereby reduces the amount of it." The bad behavior rioting curbs is the tendency of white police officers to be "needlessly aggressive toward blacks".
It's estimated that white officers kill black suspects 96 times a year. Cost-benefit analyses conducted by safety regulators peg the value of a human life at $9.2 million. This means the economic cost of white cops killing blacks is around $883 million per year. If the jolt caused by Ferguson's rioting can chill police authorities and cause adjustments that save just 3 black lives per year, that's an economic savings of $27.6 million. It's hard to tell now how much damage rioting in Ferguson has caused, but I'd doubt it's anywhere near that figure.
It's interesting to compare this calculation with Jonathan Gruber's 1997 paper for the National Bureau of Statistics titled "Abortion Legalization and Child Living Circumstances: Who is the 'Marginal Child'", which argues that "legalization of abortion in five states around 1970, by followed by legalization nationwide due to the 1973 Roe vs Wade decision … saved the government over $14 billion in welfare expenditures through 1994."
Even better, John Donohue, of Yale Law School, and Steven Levitt, of the University of Chicago, found that 'abortion cuts crime'.
The authors argue that states that had abortion legalized earlier should have the earliest reductions in crime. Donohue and Levitt's study indicates that this indeed has happened: Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and Washington experienced steeper drops in crime, and had legalized abortion before Roe v. Wade. Further, states with a high abortion rate have experienced a greater reduction in crime, when corrected for factors like average income. Finally, studies in Canada and Australia claim to have established a correlation between legalized abortion and overall crime reduction.
If abortion cuts crime and saves society money it is mostly African-Americans who get the treatment. "From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred" disproportionately among non-Hispanic black women,who account for 30% of abortions while constituting 12.4% of the population.
The 1972 Rockefeller Commission on Population and the American Future is one of the better known early versions of this claim, although it was not the first. The Commission cited research stating that the children of women denied an abortion "turned out to have been registered more often with psychiatric services, engaged in more antisocial and criminal behavior, and have been more dependent on public assistance" … and were more likely to become delinquents and engaged in crime. Supreme Court Justice Blackmun's opinion in Roe v. Wade also referenced the social and private problems "of bringing a child into a family already unable, psychologically and otherwise, to care for it.
So what's the value in human life paid for this crime prevention? Well if infants "aren't really human" the moral cost of terminating a fetus is zero. It's a net benefit to ditch them. But if the reader feels "an abyss staring back at him" at this point, there are ample grounds for misgiving. With a cost-benefit number of human life in hand, the issues addressed by Action T4 are not far away.

"I made the Pound Cake Cookies also listed on this site, which were said to be like Lofthouse cookies. Thus, I wanted a frosting to match and this is what I came up with. It's not an exact match, but I think it is pretty good. It's not really for "decorated" cut out cookies, but more a schmear for plain round ones. Add sprinkles for fun & crunch! (It makes exactly enough to generously frost the large 25 cookies I got from the Pound Cake Cookie recipe.)"
Serving Size: 1 (16 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 25
"I didn't really think it tasted like Lofthouse frosting but I thought it was a great frosting. It worked perfectly for the sugar cookies that we did yesterday. I did use milk instead of half and half which may have affected the consistency some."
"This was good but in having a Lofthouse cookie the day before I made this it tasted nothing like Lofthouse Frosting."
"This is a good icing. I substituted evaporated milk for the half and half/milk.......I believe it gives the icing the flavor of the true 'Lofthouse' cookie. Thanks for the recipe."
