Peka Bertha Hannemann Samoa Toelupe Tribute

Ha ha ha...I guess I should title this cooking by myself while mom tells me what to do. That's the best way to teach someone to cook I guess, by having them do most of the work. Mom would say something like, "I want to make soup tonight." That would be followed by, "Kuka, will you put a pot of water on the stove please?" Then later it would be, "Kuka, will you cut the vegetables?", "Kuka, wash a cup of rice and put it in the pot", "Kuka, add salt and pepper to the soup", "Kuka, is the soup finished?" Yeah, she was a great cook. I guess she made up her own saying, "Give a man chicken, feed him for a day. Teach him the many ways to COOK chicken, feed him for a lifetime. Teach him how to teach others the many ways to COOK chicken, feed NATIONS!!" I love you MOM!! Thanks for teaching me how to cook...and everything else too!
