She truly, truly is. I am very grateful for her and would like to think I inherited her resourcefulness too. I think I've only become very, very concious of the intent and love behind it in the last few years - before then, I was just like 'yeah, my Mum's a freaking awesome cook' and was aware I was lucky to grow up in this household!
Savouring - very much so. I did give Dad my loved chocolate section - see the kinda sacrifices I make to my beloved parents? He he. Honestly, those three bowls in front of him - even he saw the humour in that.
