No... we had very little money when I was a kid. We'd walk home from school 2 miles at lunchtime, and we'd either get a bowl of knorr chicken noodle soup, a banana.. or a ketchup sandwich, then we;d walk 2 miles back... we were verrrry skinny kids..

I used to eat mustard sandwiches as a kid and was very skinny, too! I ate them not because we didn't have enough money but because I had to start making my lunch starting in the third grade, and I was either too lazy or didn't really know enough to make a real sandwich.
 
7 minute frosting that was on top of my birthday angel cake. I can make the frosting; it’s just too much effort.

Fresh red currants! I used to love them when I was young. Growing them was banned throughout the US for many years and bans still exist on many places (including New Hampshire 😞).

My grandmother kept two top secret currant bushes after the ban.

We used to strip them from the stems with a fork and eat them fresh with sugar. We also made currant jelly.

I think the ban was originally intended to combat the spread of Dutch elm disease. 🤔

I liked those "no-bake cookies" made of oatmeal, cocoa, sugar, and peanut butter. Far too many carbs to touch them these days though.

Actually the invasive exotic plants harbor a parasite (blister rust) that destroys important native species such as White Pine.
 
I never knew that abot currant bushes. My mom used to make currant jelly and I loved it. I was wondering why I never saw currants in the food stores, etc

walked a mile and a half home for lunch. Remember tomato soup. (which I hate) then walking a mile and a half back to school. Love the memories that I am recalling and the similarity to others, regardless of country. We are so far apart and yet so close.

...ah yes, amazing isn't it ?
 
I find that people regardless of country, origin, beliefs, are pretty much the same. We all love our children, bond with others and do what we can to make everything work. Why do we fight each other??????????
I once saw a poster that said "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came", Never forgot that.
Put 200 hundred people on a plane and have it crash on a deserted island. Surprising how fast beliefs, and differnces disappear. Makes you think.
 
We were a bread and cake family. When we weren't eating bread we'd be eating cake. Some of it was homemade and some bakery bought. Chocolate layer cake and Charlotte Russe were favorites. CHARLOTTE RUSSE.jpgai-generated-7680026_1280.jpg
 
Another food I miss eating is Empanadillas

My mother learned how to make all those foods from her mom who served as the school cook and as the cook for the town 's catholic priests. Instead of paying attention when she was making them, I just concentrated on eating. SMH!​
