Dad was a fantastic cook... Mom could burn the same pot of beans twice....
My first ever lamb was made by him.... Mom turned her nose up and had Weenies...
Lamb roast Dad slit it all over and poked in Garlic slices... Then layed Rosemary all over the top ... Served it sliced and with Mint jelley....
When Mom cooked fish it came out translucent and flavorless and stank up the house... Dad got tired of that.... Went sport fishing Brought back a whole SkipJack Less head and guts. He had watched the guys filet it out on the boat and opted not to pay the tenbucks for the service. He split it down the spine and ran his hand under the meat next to the ribcage peeled out neatly.... When he was done he had about twenty pounds of tuna.... Sans Bones and skin.... Then he cut it into portions and put them in a seal a meal pouch along with a couple of pats of butter and a slice of lemon Sealed them up and stuck em in the freezer.
All we had to do is pull a pouch out cook in the microwave from frozen to done... OH MY GAWD.... didnt need salt and pepper...
