Carolyn Federman recalls one of the first dishes she cooked as a child. It was meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and it was for her mom. “I remembered my dad was out of town, my siblings were gone. It was just the two of us,” she said.
“I was so proud. I remember I made the meatloaf in a round pie tin—in those aluminum pans that bend. It was probably kind of gross, but she was generous and talked about how great it was.”
