One of my favorite things about Dean's time with Lisa was getting to see him cook -- we see him making an omelette and we see him grilling -- so we know that he wants to and can -- just that he usually doesn't have the options.
Whenever I'm at my local dollar store shopping for food I always think of Dean, trying to find food that will keep Sammy fed and nourished.
So I loved this story and Mrs. Salter's background and Dean's desire to make sure the bunker kitchen is well-stocked. :) I really agree with you that with Sam's health at stake, Dean would do a lot better than a couple of beers and Reese cups!
Oh! This was wonderful. It actually made me tear up a little! ;) This is probably my favourite kind of fanfic; a writer picking up on a canon fact and then creating the back story for it! The OC you created, Mrs Salters, was just perfect and Dean's relationship with food and cooking was realistic and a little heartbreaking. The story was beautifully in character and is now and forever-more my head-canon for how Dean learned to cook! :) Beautiful piece.
Thank you! I heard a program on the radio today about how more and more people have no idea what to do with whole foods and all kinds of vegetables because they've never been exposed to them. The person being interviewed was running a program to teach people how to prepare foods that were totally foreign to them even though they are what most people of middle class and above are totally used to. The participants in his program would take home a bag of the ingredients they'd learned about and prepare them for a meal. It was fascinating and just made me love Mrs. Salters even more. :)

It must have been so hard for him. Finding good for for little money is practically impossible, especially if you don't really know what good food is.
Thank you so much!
