This is the time of year when lots of time is spent in the kitchen,
cooking and baking holiday meals and treats.  It's especially the
time of year when memories are most often made.  This pictoral is
designed to take you back and reminisce about the holiday times
spent in the kitchen with mom.  I realize that not everyone grew up the
same, so I made two versions.

It's a lovely time of year!
Fuckin ' holidays!
When you have all of the state of the art appliances, like this electric potato peeler, cooking is fun!
It just means I gotta' do more cookin' and slavin'...
It's a Wife-Saver!
...over this piece of shit stove...
I even had time to bake a special coconut cake for my mother-in-law. She'll be so pleased!
...for all my freeloadin' relatives...
And for you children, I made candy apples! I'm serving them to you on the good china... because I have complete faith in you little darlings. Mommy trusts you.
...and you little rascals. 

GET OFF the couch! I don't want it dirty when company comes.

I also whipped up a little gourmet cheese and fruit wheel
My old man wants me to start cookin' better fer him on account of his health.
Gouda? Brie? Fresh berries?
To hell with that! I'll be his cook but I ain't his nurse!
Would you like to try a fun cocktail? 
His relatives had better bring somethin' with 'em this time...the spongin' bastards! This spray cheese ain't cheap!
The turkey... perfect EVERY time!
Cheese doodle? Chicken in a Biskit? Olive?
I wouldn't dream of allowing you to help me clean up!   
Ohhh these beans smell gooood!  We're gonna fart our guts out tonight!
Cleaning is a cinch!
Here pooch, have some bacon.  I got lotsa' plates for you to clean later. 
Spotless... and no streaks!
Cornbread, fatback, collard greens, beans, and sweet potato pie... I did all the cookin... now whose doin' the  cleanin'?
