Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Luckily I came from a long line of pasty experts and bread makers. Mom's dinner menu was always terrible but you could count on breads and delicious pastries if she had time to bake and she only gave you 2 or 3 cookies and a slice of bread. That was never enough for me. I have seen this gelatin cottage cheese salad, isn't it usually made in a bundt pan? It sure looks like a disaster to me. I had to learn how to make mashed potaties and boil pasta at a very young age. Mom always boiled pasta until it turned into glue, was almost worst than canned spaghetti and the mashed potatoes were full of lumps.

My sister & I always joke that we learned to cook in self-defense She used to make this salad in the summer that was cool whip, cottage cheese, flavored gelatin powder, mandarin orange slices(canned) and canned pineapple. Everyone hated it but she would always make it. And this awful egg, noodle, cheese & onion crockpot thing that had that nasty budding sliced meat in it too. It was so thick and pasty it would stick to the spoon in a big wad. Later in life though she has developed better skills and now does really good pumpkin pie every holiday & her bean soups are great, so there's almost always hope.
