Common Meals

[LJ1999]

My mom always cooked our dinners. Things like Chef Boy Ardee and Kraft Mac n Cheese were special treats for us. The only time I got a Hostess snack was when we had to take a bag lunch for field trips. One time I pretended to be sick on a Field Trip day and mom took away my Hostess goody. Man I was bummed.

I'll never forget the days I would come home from school and you could smell liver and onions. Still makes me want to puke.

One day I came home and saw tentacles hanging from the kitchen sink. Squid or Octopus. Scarred me for life.

Never had to endure any canned spaghetti product. Mac and Cheese i can take or leave. It's not something I go out of my way to have and usually pass it by at a dinner gathering. Didnt' have to deal with liver and onions either.

What was really a pain was the being the only one in the house that liked seafood. It wasn't an option unless we went out to dinner or I visited relatives.

It was a state occasion to go out for dinner to a nice place. One time the shrimp cocktail app caught my eye, it was $5. And it was also the most expensive item on the menu!! This was back in the late 50s. The look of horror on my parent's faces... but they got me one anyway. It set a new precedent and a joke that persisted for the rest of their days.

Every Friday when I was growing up we had fish (battered covered cod) and chips from the family owned pizza joint a few street over.

Another meal. Browned ground beef in cream of mushroom soup poured over white rice.

There is nothing that turns out well with Cream of Mushroom Soup.

I love mushrooms and whatever is in that soup, it ain't them.

Green bean casserole?

Green bean casserole?

Not a fan.

Not a fan.

Never a staple at our holiday meals. I don't think I even had it until I was a young adult.

I beg to differ.

I will make rice where the liquid is cream of mushroom soup (white wine instead of milk as the dilution liquid) as a bed to bake boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which have been seasoned with Bells', and minced garlic & onion.

Bon Appetite.

Bon Appetite.

Would be a boring world if we all had the same tastes in food, drink, music, books, art...

I get Five Guys fries, fry them up in a pan with Crisco.

I kept thinking about this as I was driving around. It got the better of me. I stopped, got a burger for lunch and a LARGE fries so I have the makings for homefries for b'fast.

We always used the Golden Mushroom Soup. My dad thought it was fancy!

When I was a kid I only got GBC at Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. I vowed that when I grew up I'd eat GBC whenever I wanted. Fortunately I married someone who felt the same way, and we had GBC once a week or so.

Where's @BadGirl ? We know how she feels about it.

Oh, that sounds good.

Salt, pepper, powdered ranch dressing flour or breadcrumbs or panko for breading.
