Baking With Ghosts
One can tell the difference in the taste in food that was just thrown together and food that was prepared with love. My Omi was a prime example of the latter, when she cooked for her family. Her gift, however, was honed in service to the Austrian aristocracy. Before she retired and I was born, she mastered her craft as the head cook for the House of Habsburg in the region of Austria that she lived in, Upper Austria - Salzkammergut, which is about an hour east of Salzburg.

Children Live What They Learn
Full disclosure. I was not a perfect mom, and I know I still am not; there is much that I need to learn yet. An aspect of my shortcomings I now see manifesting in my eldest daughter whose father I never married. When she was 4 years old I married my first husband. Before we had our own children, my eldest was doted on and spoiled, but when *our* first child came along, my first stopped being the baby and came - sometimes a distant - second when it came to choosing which child would get the attention and the treats.
