On the bright side, she didn't have a parent who taught her *bad* cooking.

My mother...is a bad cook, and I had to unlearn everything I learned from her. 

She boiled unseasoned chicken breasts and then we would eat the breasts plain. We ate the crumbliest, driest meatloaf. The softest, squishiest veggies. The most goopy, overcooked pasta. She cooked nearly every night, her and my dad liked it well enough, so it never changed. 

She always accused me of being a picky kid, but when I moved out for college and learned how to cook *correctly* I realized I'm not picky at all! Her food is just BAD! Dad was pretty bad too. When he'd cook it would mostly be burgers, brats, or BBQ, and it was all SO overcooked and dry. I think the meat just served as his delivery vessel for BBQ sauce or other toppings 😂

I hope you didn't spoil them now that you learned how to actually prepare those dishes.
