Remember Eating in the fifties.

My mother made creamed canned salmon on toast, but made the white sauce.

Homemade scalloped potatoes, not from box, for a side to the ham.

Potato pancakes with sour cream.

I`m pretty sure my mom made the white sauce too. But not sure why I use Aunt Penney`s instead. I know I did make my own once and it just wasn`t the same.

One container is bacon fat, the other is lard I have used to cook a treat once in a while, home fries. I don't live on these but so far it proves to me
that the chemicals that are in there. Yes Aunt Bea those cookies are still great.

And Mom's mac and cheese didn't come from a box but involved a white sauce, lots of real cheese and oven baking.

At my house, the can was filled with bacon grease.

Bacon grease makes great molasses cookies.

Yup, same at mine.

How about casseroles? In our house, a "casserole" was usually whatever was in the refrigerator, put into a pan, and baked.

I still do that, interesting how good some of that turns out....

Oh, yes, the can of bacon grease that always sat on the back of the stove. Everything was fried in bacon grease. I have to wonder how *old* the bacon grease at the bottom of the can was......

Yes. Cooked noodles on the bottom, whatever in frig, cheese on the top and a bake in the oven.

My favorite was homemade hamburgers cooked in an iron skillet, had chopped onions (Vidalia) cooked in the beef, real cut fries, a little bit of Lea & Perrin. I loved (and still do) pear halves with a dollop of mayo and shredded cheese.
