My mother was on mission of making home-made food and dessert 365 days a year when I grew up. She has made anything by herslef; juice, pizzas, birthday cake, ice cream, anything you can think of.
There are many food that I missed from her. Chimaki rice is one of my favorite.
After both her children left home, my mother opened a cooking class and still enjoys home-made cooking.
She has never taught me how to cook. We've never stood in the kitchen together. However, I remember seeing things what she did in the kitchen, and oddly enough I know what to do to make her taste.
This rice taste good even eating it cold.
