My mom was a terrible cook, still is. We ate Cream of Wheat all the time because it was cheap and we were poor. It always had huge lumps in it
that were filled with dry Cream of Wheat. Bill Cosby had a comedy routine on how horrible Cream of Wheat was with these huge lumps in it.
Later, when I had my own family, I found out that you could make Cream of Wheat without lumps. All you had to do was pour the Cream of Wheat SLOWLY
into the boiling water while you were stirring.
It was just incredible to me that my mother, after serving lumpy Cream of Wheat for years and years and listening to us bitch about it, never once picked up the box and read the instructions
about how to avoid lumps. Bill Cosby's mother never did either, I guess.
