" my step mother like mom Tita cooked rarely. Sometimes Pepe fried Finnish pancakes of the type ghat is sold as large with the product name "Riitan herkku", and we ate smashed apples with it. Tita also taught us to cook the kind of risotto that she liked: first fry smashed meat, then place it and it's oil on a plate, add food oil to the pan and Avorio rise that does not get stuck to clumps and fry the rise a little bit, add lots of water and start cooking the rise, add one piece of chicken sauce concentrate, add freezed vegetables, cook untill the rise and vegetables are ready, a little bit earlier add the meat, remember to mix well so that all cooks evenly. In the summer she sometimes cooked rise and some big vegetable and we went to the garden fireplace where she fried a beef or lax. In the summer the meals varied like felt good, sometimes light, mostly sallad, and sometimes proper meal.
Pepe mostly cooked potatoes with food. He also cut some big pieces of fresh vegetables like carrot for the family to eat before the meal was ready, if not vegetables then thin pieces of bread. He cooked different kinds of meals, often vegetables plus something with meat or fish. My parents liked somewhat acid quite heavy feeling food but did not need so much of it.
