Pamela Lee remembers that Pam in one odd way was risk taking. She would, for a dinner party, prepare a dish she had not made before. The cautious approach would be to repeat an old favourite. Pamela remembers the chocolate roulade Pam prepared for the first time. She says it was superb. Before we were married I had assumed that Pam would be as bad a cook as her mother. In fact, she was very good. Her mother would have been able to cook well. She just could not arouse interest in cooking. Other domestic skills did not interest her. If wrapped her Christmas presents were badly wrapped. After her death and her husband's retirement I noticed how the floors became highly polished.
