How does mom do it?

I just got back from a week in Georgia at mom and dad's. Whenever we go there all you have to do is even hint "{Small sigh} You know what would be good right now? A [insert off the wall food item] would be great." Presto, within several minutes of clanging of pots it would appear.

I say this because I just went into the kitchen to scrounge up something to eat and opened the fridge and went "hurumph" because I didn't have anything, nor did I have anything to make something with. I go to their house and open the fridge and it looks like the pantry on Iron Chef America, yet they rarely throw anything out.

Don't you know, mom's have eyes in the back of their heads, an extra pair of ears for hearing secrets you don't want her to know, and a sixth sense, she knows what you want, before you know what you want. Presto....... MOM.

I am so very blessed
And people say that I am crazy for having, in essence, a grocery store in my pantry.

I can whip up just about anything if given a few minutes.

You want lobster stock to make a white wine sauce to serve with your crab imperial-stuffed rockfish? I got it.

You want fresh sausage to make into a cabbage and potato feast? I got it.

You want me to make you a 17-layer cake? I can do that.

You want me to make you some homemade lasagna made with my hand-cranked homegrown tomato sauce? I got your back on that, too.

If you said that you wanted to come to my house before 9:00 in the morning - with 20 of your favorite friends - I could whip up a nice dinner for you all by 6:00 pm. And not have to go to the grocery store for a single thing.

My mom never has anything to eat in her fridge, unless you count 4 year old frozen meals and Fiddle Faddle. This is why I have a pantry full of emergency snack items and can throw together any number of meals just with what I keep on hand.

No one wants to become their parents.

I did not think you were crazy. I was awed and showed the appropriate reverence toward your survival closet. I don't think I'd ever seen so many provisions in my life, outside of a warehouse market.

I want your Mom. Strangely, I've said this too many times before. I guess that's why friends stopped having me sleep over when I was a kid.
