Special Mother's Day Entry My mother has always been a fabulous cook. At a time when most girls left high school to get married, she went on to do her B.A. in Home Science with distinction. That was in 1955. She then devoted a year to learn International Cuisine at Nazareth Convent, Mangalore South India. Most of my recipes are hers. And she in turn got them from her mother who got it from her mother my great grandmother. Today, at seventy one she still wields her culinary prowess and woe betide the unfortunate soul who does not meet her exacting standards. Egg Stew has always been one of my favorites and my daughter's favorite. Any occasion whether ordinary or special demanded a stew in some form or the other meat, vegetables or fish. It is not only simple, but so delicious and satisfying that even a novice could attempt it. Everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe and it has graced many a table in many a household. In honor of a great cook, my mother Gladys Elisha, to celebrate Mothers Day. To all Mother's, Happy Mothers Day.
