For some strange reason we’ve watched some cooking shows lately.
Maybe because our boxer, Harley seems to enjoy them.
They throw around a lot of terms like umami.
The only thing like that in my culinary education was my Mommy.
There were only two or three things I saw her use a recipe for.
Her cooking was down home country with a couple of fancier dishes thrown in.
It was years before we had tacos at home and besides the hardshell tortilla, had burger, lettuce, tomato, and maybe some onion.
No hot sauce other than tobasco and no peppers.
