Answer 1

Well- my Dad was recently caught eating Dinty Moore Beef Stew out of the pan at our cabin- so I would not trust his cooking skills. However, his father, my Grandpa- made the best oatmeal cookies ever. He followed the recipe on the Quaker Oats container and made them every Christmas-they always tasted great. The other specialty was a favorite of my daughters- miracle whip and tomato sandwiches. Easy and bad for you- on wonder bread with lots of miracle whip- she still searches for the first ripe garden tomato to make the first one of the year!
