Its the law. Once a week, my family sits down to dinner together. In 2024, we will celebrate 100 years of this tradition. I could hardly wait and in 1985, it was my turn to take on this task. Once a week my family still comes to my house to eat together. As I said, its the law. its the glue that holds us together.

These days, we still have our carnivores, but we also have vegans and vegetarians. Between planning menus, shopping, baking and cooking I spend about 8 hours a week on this one meal.

After all these years, you'd think I could get potatoes right. But no, they are still my downfall. I could not stand failure anymore, and my 2022 goal is to perfect them. Now that you know my reason, thank you for this article. Pleased, keep us apprised of your progress.
