Consider yourself lucky... The there were two redeeming features of my mother's meals. One was that my grandfather (her father) was a butcher, and the other was that she was an incredibly lazy cook. Combined, this meant we ate steaks, chops or roasts every night, broiled or roasted. She didn't 'do' anything to the meat so that never tasted bad. We just had to salt, pepper, and garlic it ourselves. She just put it into the broiler or oven. No problems there, although sometimes she felt creative and dumped a can of soup over the meat before cooking. Horrible thing to do to a steak... But ALL veggies had to come from cans. ALL of them, every meal. It's amazing we didn't die from lack of vitamins and minerals. There is NOTHING worse than canned peas and carrots, unless it's canned okra... White bread on the table every meal. Sometimes she remembered the butter. But not often.
