A little over 30 years ago, the author and minister Robert Fulghum<\/a> published his runaway bestseller \u201cAll I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,\u201d in which he listed life rules such as \u201cShare everything,\u201d \u201cSay you\u2019re sorry when you hurt somebody,\u201d and \u201cFlush.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am the Robert Fulghum of the duodenum. Pretty much all that I really need to know, I learned as a youngster eating in the company of my parents.<\/p>\n

We grew up as a large family. Nine children, no twins. Growing up, I nicknamed my mother\u2019s oven \u201cNoah\u2019s Ark.\u201d Everything she cooked in there went in in pairs: two hams, two pies, two casseroles. Our family would go through three loaves of bread, two gallons of milk, and a jar of peanut butter\u2014a day.<\/p>\n

The dining room was clearly the most important room in our house. Not the family room and its come-hither TV. Not our own rooms and their cozies of privacy. The dining room.<\/p>\n

One evening at dinner when I was in my mid-teens (and Number Nine was in diapers), my father told us that he had \u201ca big surprise\u201d for dessert.<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s a carrot, pal, to get your children to behave at table and finish their plates. And it worked, but it also boiled the waters of suspense.<\/p>\n

Came time, my dad pulled out a Snickers bar\u2014one Snickers bar\u2014and divided it with a knife into nine equal pieces and passed those around, each nugget on its own little plate.<\/p>\n

Then he said: \u201cI want you kids to know that, in my eyes, each of you is equal. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stormed out of the dining room, enraged. How dare he? I deserved a bigger portion than the others. I was the oldest, the biggest, the hungriest.<\/p>\n

Someone ate my piece.<\/p>\n

A long time passed before I saw through to what my father did that dinnertime. In all the vicissitudes of our family, in all the crazy things that we kids did to our parents, my father did not blink away from that division of his love for his children.

Enjoy other great recipes and tips from Bill St. John<\/a>.<\/div>\n

What I remember most about my mother, foodwise, is how she graduated as a cook. In the beginning, it was frozen slabs of halibut thrown like horseshoes onto the baking sheet and topped with a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup. She based her spaghetti sauce in Heinz\u00a0tomato soup.<\/p>\n

She just had so many maws to fill.<\/p>\n

Later, when most of us had grown into our late \u2018teens and twenties, she blossomed, like the roses she adored. She clipped drawers-full of recipes from food mags, attended culinary schools in Europe, cooked ever more delicious meals for us all.<\/p>\n

Of us nine, three are gay. This development appeared more difficult for Mom than for Dad, due perhaps to her background. She had been raised in a small village in Belgium, by fairly conservative Roman Catholic parents, thus the foreign from here was layered atop the foreign from there. Her past had not provided her any tools to talk about being gay. And she did not talk about it.<\/p>\n

On a visit to San Francisco in the late 1980s to visit one of her three gay children, she noticed a cookbook in my sister\u2019s kitchen that had been published as a fundraiser by Project Open Hand, a Bay Area organization for which my sister volunteered as it delivered what it called \u201cmeals with love\u201d to people with HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n

My mother returned to Denver and unassumingly began work on her own cookbook, eventually called \u201cFriends for Dinner\u201d which brought $150,000 (close to $350,000 in 2022 dollars) to the Denver coffers of Volunteers of America\u2019s Meals on Wheels for People with AIDS.<\/p>\n

She and my father self-published the book, into a third printing, and took not a dime against any of its production or recipe testing costs. My mother flogged sales of that book by setting up a card table weekends outside the Tattered Cover bookstore, handing out homemade chocolate truffles if you bought a copy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFriends for Dinner\u201d was how my mother talked about her gay children.<\/p>\n

It was loud.<\/p>\n

I have learned so much about life\u2014especially about caring and kindness\u2014from my mother\u2019s cooking, from the thousands of meals that she cooked for her family, friends and guests, from that book, from the hundreds of classes that she taught at La Bonne Cuisine, a cooking school of her own devising that she ran out of her home kitchen.<\/p>\n

The recipe here comes from La Bonne Cuisine and a session that my mother called, using a word from her native French, \u201cA Salut to Spring.\u201d She loved to cook salmon.<\/p>\n

Happy Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Poached Salmon with Raspberry Beurre Blanc<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From Madeleine St. John, La Bonne Cuisine, Denver. Serves 6.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

4 cups dry white wine<\/p>\n

2 cups water<\/p>\n

1 cup sliced celery<\/p>\n

2 medium parsley sprigs<\/p>\n

1 large bay leaf<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

1 9- to 12-pound whole fresh salmon, cleaned and patted dry<\/p>\n

Watercress, lemon and lime slices, fresh raspberries, for garnish<\/p>\n

For the raspberry beurre blanc:<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup raspberry vinegar<\/p>\n

1\/4 minced shallot<\/p>\n

4 tablespoons (1\/4 cups) whipping cream, warmed<\/p>\n

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 16 pieces<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons raspberry jam, strained of its \u201cseeds\u201d<\/p>\n

Add cream and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat Whisk in 2 or 3 pieces of butter, 1 piece at a time.<\/p>\n

Return saucepan to low heat and cook, whisking in remaining butter, until mixture is the consistency of light mayonnaise. Whisk in strained raspberry jam.<\/p>\n

He writes and teaches about restaurants, wine, food & wine, the history of the cuisines of several countries (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the USA), about religion and its nexus with food, culture, history, or philosophy, and on books, travel, food writing, op-ed, and language. Bill has lent (and lends) his subject matter expertise to such outlets as The Rocky Mountain News, The Denver Post, The Chicago Tribune, 5280 Magazine, and for various entities such as food markets, wine shops, schools & hospitals, and, for its brief life, Microsoft\u2019s sidewalk.com. In 2001 he was nominated for a James Beard Award in Journalism for his 12 years of writing for Wine & Spirits Magazine. Bill's experience also includes teaching at Regis University and the University of Chicago and in classrooms of his own devising; working as on-air talent with Denver's KCNC-TV, where he scripted and presented a travel & lifestyle program called \"Wine at 45\"; a one-week stint as a Trappist monk; and offering his shoulder as a headrest for Julia Child for 20 minutes. Bill has also visited 54 countries, 42 of the United States, and all 10 Canadian provinces.","url":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}]}},"coauthors":[{"id":2197,"name":"Bill St. John, for UCHealth","link":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63693"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63700,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63693\/revisions\/63700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
