Regina, who raised seven daughters and two sons, never allowed her girls to tamper with
her cooking. When Regina hosted the family Christmas dinner, her daughters, all of
whom were excellent cooks themselves, were allowed only to set the table, make coffee
or tea, and cut the desserts, but not to touch Regina's turkey, baked ham, or special
vegetable dishes. "I know what spice to add and when," she'd say. "Just stay away." It
was, of course, her way of saying, "Too many cooks spoil the broth."
