Hagit: "I'm going back seven, I consider downloading", he writes to me from his annual trip, my boy, aged 17, tripled the amount of daily food next to his mouth has lasted beyond the end of his limbs and his voice changed beyond recognition. From Pasadena Are cook, facades without basis, I wrote: "What make you? Served as special?" And he answered without delay: "I do not know, hot food like enriched and Dsn".
Back and forth I read his answer, here and now want to encrypt my arms around him. Crush him like that long ago he would not let me. He wants hot food and fertilizer enriched, my child. Where They came to him these words, and how when he comes back I can install for pots would spread aromas of food, come home and open the door, sweaty and tired, he took off his shoes muddy, and then he stood up, tall and strong, and Itbsm odors of mine, "Wow, Mom, what The smell of food, I missed the smell. "
It's my teenager, who is accustomed to Friday afternoon neigh-looking plastic boxes stacked on the counter, promising him a good lunch and varied. In my heart I know that while his friends pick up pots and lids ask "What's for dinner today?" He developed plastic boxes purchased in advance meticulous planning of foreign homemaker model, they contain takeaway will be submitted to edit and aesthetic value of "My Mother, creative and colorful." And every time he calls me creative, I ask myself, what happens to my creativity in the kitchen? What is blocked not celebrate color combinations and flavors and escapes any possibility of relief, obviously unhealthy, which includes the decree of schnitzel bag ready?

Whenever I swear to cook her four children, whom I had nursed for years, I'd rather get into the car and know that within 45 minutes of the return journey to famous dining hangar near my home, I go home with mountains of boxes. By the way they will spare some money, quick calculation of cost versus benefit. 45 minutes, and I have pretty good food for a few good days. So where was the problem, and what mental anguish?
There hangar known, I meet women like me, and immediately I want to take them on my membership club. They are "ours" are just like me. Prefer to buy prepared food and take the coveted Friday Morning matters a bit more attractive in their eyes, in my opinion. Black toenails painted bright hands, wrists loaded with bracelets, seeing from afar on their hands are not peeling Co. and itchy and stood frying. Hands working in the kitchen does not look like that.
Some of which have been smiled at me, by virtue of our acquaintance there. A quick meeting, no real dialogue, except L"hmokftz is going with you? They are like children? " Only looks crossed and a smile mutually disclose the hidden secret of all, never just hand you were not a member of our club. We are mothers who get takeaway.

"Mom feeds you spiritual food, it is no less important", I play to my four children whenever I can. Well, crystallize their mantra. To that once, when he would tell me, do not know when or where or to whom, they say, "Our mom was not so good in the kitchen, but she fed us spiritual food often, it is no less important."
My teenager I have been preparing apologetic answer the legitimate question of the love of his heart, still to come: "So my mother did not cook for you?" And it is clear to me that she cook for him.
I know in my heart how, no matter to whom I sit, the world will travel to talk to her mother and food. Always be mentioned "Mom was waiting for us with a hot meal every day", or "mother was a career woman but made sure to get up at five in the morning to cook us fresh food and warm" or "a mother who had left us a note with its heating schnitzel frozen, but I grew up not too bad , right?"
It's there, no matter how eliminating'll take that out of my incompetence. Input this basic maternal and name, etched in the memory of the fleeing girls.
Slowly, I have confidence in my mothering, what defines their very being, crack. First it was the other man, his wife sent him to buy food ready on Friday morning, and the filled trays haraime and came toward me and whispered in my ear: "Walla delicious here, but no soul food this village. There is no soul."
Then came Hootsaf an adolescent, she flung the whole truth and boxes of prepared food in my face, as if these were not enough, the next day the newspaper headline screamed: "sausages? Once a month. The Ministry of Health warns against eating processed meat, especially children."
If the food police was conducting a search in those moments in my freezer, I was handcuffed. I'm the one who cooks hot dogs and french fries prepared in the microwave warms, editor table with napkins and candles dotted, and calls for a pleasant voice to my children, "Come, my sweet, lunch is ready."
"Help me," I ask forgiveness, send her a screen shot of my correspondence with the adolescent. "I want to learn, I want to know. Not put away my fear. He asked enriched food and fertilizer. Will you help me?"
She immediately agreed. "Come on," she said.

Halo: We stood at the stove, in front of the oil pan sizzling with onions. The first lesson she wanted to learn was "going to hell Lmh when writing recipes fry until it changes color." Then she asked me if I thought she was as good a mother because she does not cook.
I looked at her smiling face, takes a moment of thought, I come to the words as seriously as they were asked, and I told her that I can not define parenthood. Is a great way to keep the kids more time at home, worrying about who will come to visit, to cultivate a longing, but he did not say anything about parenting.
I told her that what matters is Their attempt, and try not to have to be cooked in the kitchen. Which is one of the most trying I know. Her kids grow up with a mother changing reality, and that is a great privilege.
After that I added something about it in the shade, because it contains so much sugar and cook over a low flame. The high heat that will burn, and scream their resources. But Hagit continued to simmer guilty. "Do you realize that actually fed them poison ?!"
Publications of the World Medical Association, according to which the processed meat is carcinogenic, clawed the best. What they could not do the bad taste of sausage industrial fabric of pastrami injected dubious or schnitzel ready, managed to panic and guilt. The celebration piggy shuddered for a moment.
Port of women work gave rise to a demand quick cooking and food ready. The US was the undisputed leader in the manufacture of cheap and fast. A bundle of sugar went everywhere. Openly or secretly born in Industry writing palate collective, cross the families and countries of origin. Where dining industry met the perception of abundance - that meat on a daily basis, no matter what its quality , is necessary - was born in original sin. There was also born twisted concept of children's meals.
Parents, even those who follow children play classical music, reading them a bedtime story, jump to the museum or take in a play, gave up on the plate. The young palate is compressed into a narrow range, devoid of curiosity and daring.
This model in Israel embraced warmly. Wood, schnitzel, sausages poor quality, who said ketchup did not receive? Caregivers convinced themselves of chips from the freezer and instant powders that's all kids are capable of. Packaging promised some vitamins and fiber defeated the choir nutritionists. Children's menus and children's menus in restaurants and in homes cook.
"You see my kids do not even like the food that ?!" Hagit said as she stood scrape carrots, determined to carve her way to the kitchen, which is not entered, maybe because there was always someone there. At first her mother, then the mother of Yohai. "We were together for four years, three of which it is only because his mother cooked for food," she laughs, and I see how she falls in love with the smell of lemongrass.
When she married, father of her children is cooked. Now the kitchen to herself, and she did not dare. There is no avoiding prolonged in order to instill fear in people. Avoiding and a dull knife. Hagit's meeting with a good knife made her happy, and only after she left I remembered that I had forgotten to give her such a gift.
"Chicken soup, schnitzel and some cakes, that's what I learned to do over the years," she told me when she came into the house. "I want you to teach me meat Teach me how to make rice, and how to make perfect mashed potatoes. How can be crammed into cooking in the agenda crazy anyway. Tips. I need tips".

Hagit: cut lemon grass. I had no idea how this looks heavenly Hmbsm, and she made me sorted out, and the way the order of the soul, and I realized I needed to replenish my knives that conditions are ripe, and I can cook for my children.
My teenager and his brother ate everything prepared, plates of rice with meatballs in tomato sauce, and I felt my mother most basic level there. Without clever, without being afraid. Rice and red meat patties.
As if freed me something once she took my hand and told me step by step what to do. A certified cook I'm gone, but I relate to my kitchen. Slowly and patiently. Recipe makes more and more features. Understand the shortcuts. Internalizes the combinations. I can.
You will find here (right) list Hila gave me tips, and recipes she put for me, but will match any chef starts, aimed at the common denominator of the family. Recipes are clear, basic, and what it is delicious.
