  style='font-family:Arial'>When I was a kid, eating was a necessary evil.</span></b><span
  style='font-family:Arial'>&nbsp; Mom, a former history teacher, did not have
  a passion for cooking. Her casual disregard of any advances ever made in
  culinary science is approaching the legendary.&nbsp;Years ago, my daughter
  wrote:&nbsp;</span> </p>
  <p><i><span style='font-family:Arial'>&quot;Gray Jell-O.&nbsp; In my house,
  the story has often been told of the gray Jell-O. When the flavors cherry and
  lime were mixed, a wonderful&nbsp; flavor resulted. But it was a horrible
  sight. Of course my Grandma Saul didn't mean for that Jell-O to be gray, but
  with only one box of each color, the double batch of Jell-O did not come out
  just right.&quot;</span></i><span style='font-family:Arial'>&nbsp;Mom also
  mixed partly-open boxes of breakfast cereal &quot;to save space.&quot;&nbsp;I
  was raised on &quot;Cheerios&quot;, Cornflakes, Wheaties, Puffed Rice,
  Shredded Wheat and Grape Nuts... all in the same bowl at the same time.</span>
  </p>
  <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>&quot;Well done,&quot; at least in my
  experience, is the ultimate oxymoron. Mom could have burned ice cream if it
  were possible. She overcooked everything, blaming it on my Dad with the
  ever-ready apology: &quot;Your father likes it this way.&quot; After years
  and years of eating overdone, dry, tooth-stressing meals, I finally asked Pop
  why he liked everything overcooked.&nbsp; He said, &quot;That's the way your
  mother makes it.&quot;&nbsp; O'Henry would have been pleased.</span> </p>
  <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>But in fairness, Mom also gave each of us
  a multivitamin every day.&nbsp;The moment Dad walked into the house after
  work, he had a glass of orange juice stuck into his hand and a Eastman Kodak penny-a-piece
  vitamin pill plunked in his mouth before he could say, &quot;What's for
  dinner?&quot;&nbsp;And since &quot;What's for dinner?&quot; was such a
  fruitless question anyway, everything being uniformly charred to a tasteless
  slab, the pill no doubt did him good.</span> </p>
  <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Mom also drank the water the canned
  spinach was packed in.&nbsp;She saved fresh vegetable cooking water and made
  soup from it.&nbsp;I now know that such behaviors result in increased
  consumption of vitamins and minerals.&nbsp; Back then, I simply thought she
  was a little nuts.</span> </p>
  <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Obviously, it is hereditary.</span> </p>
