My mother used to make me drink 'molasses milk' every day when I was small. She was a Yankee woman. I thought it was great-- just milk with a couple of tablespoons of molasses stirred in- she said it was for the iron..She always qualified her food with the nutritional reasons for eating it--we had to eat an egg a day "for the protein", a banana "for the potassium". she fed us raw hamburger sandwiches, and she burned every batch of biscuits she ever baked. SHe also personified her food.... When we were ill, she made "Mr. Milquetoast", and our eggs were softboiled in handpainted eggcups surrounded by toast cut in strips-- "Dippy and Soldiers". She made pears into little mice with clove eyes and carrot whiskers.
My idea of homecooking is probably not the same as other people's.
