I remember during the family reunions all of my aunts and my Mom in the kitchen together. I think my father in law has been single long enough to get set in his ways lol.
He has some strange ideas about cooking. He buys rolls of ground turkey and seasons them with chicken and poultry seasoning and calls them turkey sausage. That is not turkey sausage! He wont use salt, pepper or fat. I have gotten him to use a little olive oil and he cooks with my herbs out of the garden occasionally. Try and get enough salt on a pot of green beans and potatoes after they have been cooked lol.
