My mom is really good at sucking the flavor out of everything. She once made a bean soup that tasted exactly like nothing no matter what spices or sauces we added to it.

That's unusual, because her family heritage is Polish, and from my experience (three of my cousins have Detroit Polish roots) that tends to be fairly tasty and flavorful.

Dishes handed down from generations past in my mom's recipe box tended to be bland, but she added some new ones along the way. There's excellent lasagna and also taco casserole I'll make for you sometime.

At any rate, so long as I've got a saltshaker and a jar of garlic powder, I can make anything palatable. (Garlic powder on oatmeal is surprisingly good.)

Oh, my Polish grandma makes great food, I just don't know what's up with my mom. She withholds spices because they make food, well, too spicy.

I'm into real minced garlic right now. Garlic, and onions. Mmmm, flava right from de old country.

One can never go wrong with garlic.
