FAVORITE MEAL

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD? WHAT MADE IT YOUR FAVORITE?

I never had a favorite meal. I was born during the Depression and nothing went to waste. We had to eat everything on our plate.

I do remember a couple not too favorites. It seemed like one night we would have corn meal mush. The next night, bread and milk, - mush, milk - bread milk, - mush, milk - bread, milk. Then in the spring time, we kids were let off in a field to pick dandelion greens. Mom fixed a bacon sauce to mix with raw dandelion greens. It was a change, but yuck!!!

Dad likes mush and also bread and milk or crackers and milk. I can eat them but not a favorite. Dandelion greens, keep them. I'll starve!

  1. LOL, Jim Truax, Mary's son and my father must have heard this story. He made my sister brother and I pick dandelion greens for dinner when we were in Jersey Mills!
