My mother is, was, and will always be, a horrendous cook. (shudders) I was always relieved when we would visit my grandmother because her cooking was absolutely divine. Her best meal was always herb roasted Cornish game hens with sage dressing, braised asparagus, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and fresh homemade sourdough rolls. Great... now I'm drooling. I need to steal that lady's cook book.
