Cook books and memories

In a break from studying this morning, I suddenly had the urge come over me to create a meal that I had, had often as a child and used to love, but haven't made for literally years. It was one of my mothers, so out came the (few) recipe books I have of hers. And made an attempt to find it, of course in the first one I found, the one and only page I needed had been ripped out but anyway to cut a long story short I did find it. It was written out in a book that I had started myself when I left home of (what I hoped for - helpful recipes) that meant I and everyone that depended on me,  wouldn't starve to death! It wasn't a particularly fabulous collection, most where written post mums stroke so the amounts and even the succession of recipes weren't particularly well set out. When I left home I had absolutely no skills I couldn't cook, I had hardly even made my own bed. So for years I really struggled with the most basic of chores. Anyway I got me thinking about what mothers and sometimes fathers pass on to their children. Mum had her stroke when she was 55. I was 4 months pregnant with L and it was an incredibly stressful time. Overnight I became a parent instead of a daughter and my dad became a caregiver instead of a husband. When I look back on those days and look at the type of person I was I kind of think far out! I didn't think a lot I just reacted to situations around me. I guess you tend to when u are young you think you'll never be a situation that you are just to tired to tired to go on. I still don't analyze or linger on to much..But anyway back to the cooking Mums recipe for super sausages. She was a nice person my mum, had a bit of get up and go I think. I feel sorry I never really got to know her as an adult, her personality really died with her stroke, and I was only 22. She could still walk (just) and talk but that part of her personality (the spark I guess ) that had gone.
Here the recipe anyway,
SUPER SAUSAGES
2 TBSPS flour
1 level TBSP brown sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
750 grams sausage meat
