Really, really bad - the fried pork chops ( 1/4" thick and fried for at least a half hour) served with a side of spaghetti - boiled for 25 minutes and then a can of Hunts poured over top. . She thought it was an integration of Southern heritage and international cuisine.

My Mother grew up with a housekeeper (think The Help) and then marries at 19- so not only did she not know how to cook, she didn't particularly want to learn.

As my paternal Grandmother was an excellent, "from scratch" cook, Dad definitely had some adjusting to do. I always thought "love definitely IS blind" ...until I realized Mom was rather gorgeous with buckets of southern charm. So unlike most families of the day, we ate out - A LOT...and Dad never seemed to mind.
