Imperial Sugar Company, I had always wanted to learn how to cook while I was growing up but my mother did not want us in the kitchen making a mess. The first elective course I signed up to take in Jr. High here in Houston, was Home Economics. The first semester was cooking. I loved the cooking classes; first learning to make baking powder biscuits and the smoothest white sauce you have ever seen. I still make that sauce to this date. We moved on to making banana pudding from scratch and even making our own rendition of vanilla wafers. My love of cooking is still with me and most folks say I’m a pretty good cook.
