The original green or orange Gatorade in the glass jars.
The stuff these days tastes very watery and weak in comparison and lacks the bite or punch of the old stuff. |

You guys remember the chow mein from the 70s? Came in two cans... the top can was taped to the lower can. So american it's not even funny. But looking back, it was palatable....almost looked forward to it. Your post reminded me. I’m going get a chicken one and try that before I give up on it altogether. |

Every Sunday when i was growing up, my brother and I had to be home in time for our Sunday roast. My mum cooked a meat, usually Lamb or beef that was bought from the butcher in town on Saturday. Roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a fresh veg out of the garden, topped it all off with some Bisto gravy.
My favorite meal would be roast lamb. Snacks I miss are Cornish pasties and doner kebabs. |

My mom cooked/baked everything.
My favorites included: enchiladas. fresh doughnuts. cheese/pepperoni bread pinto beans and baked light rolls potato soup and cornbread fried chicken and mashed potatoes fried fish with boiled potatoes, green beans and hushpuppies pizza (she even made the crust and the pizza sauce) I could go on and on. To this day, when I call up to ask if it's okay to come home for a 2 or 3 day weekend she asks me what I'd like to eat and then has my brother run her to the store to buy stuff to cook during the weekend. Thee days I can't eat the bread, doughnuts, etc. due to celiac disease reactions. Last time I was home she did make some of the best gluten free brownies I've ever eaten. Man were they good. She backed a lot of cakes and pies but, as my dad said, I was a bread guy. She'd be putting the cake, or pies on the table as we finished up the meal but I'd grab two or three light rolls, or slices of home made bread and take off to eat them outside or in my room. My desert was bread in those days. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sounds like my childhood, cheap hotdogs were probably the best meat we had. We got to drink powdered milk all the time too. Desert was usually a frozen banana. Now my child is spoiled rotten(mothers choice, not mine at all) and it really irks me when she doesn't eat all of her food. Watching our kids eat dinner, shoveling food into their mouths is something I do often. I just sit there and watch my little one clumsily stuff pieces of sausage in her mouth and it just makes me warm all over. Something really satisfying about seeing them fulfilled. Makes all those tears as a kid worth it! |

My Mom also overcooked meat. I hated all meat until I was 18, out of the house and was introduced to rare hamburger. I never looked back. However, being on a poultry farm, she did know how to do great chicken and turkey. Made it with a potato stuffing that I loved- with paprika, onions, celery, mushrooms, man I loved it. She did something to make it moist every time-never would tell me the
recipe. She hated my first wife and wouldn't give her the recipe either-died before I could get her to tell me. She also used to do a fresh chicken soup (Jewish mothers, right?) once every couple of weeks during the fall and winter. Big old soup chicken, a couple bags of soup vegetables and some stock set to simmer all day on the stove until my dad, me and the dogs were driven mad by the small permeating the farmhouse. I would have a bowl of soup and egg noodles, but the real treat was the vegetables- whole onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and greens. My Mom and Dad would go after the chicken, but I could make a couple of meals out of some soup, noodles and a whole passel of soup vegetables. It was kind of like the old New England boiled dinner but with chicken. That's really what I miss-neither my current wife or I have the time to do a fresh soup usually and now with my step-kids all grown up and gone there's only the two of us. Store bought soup isn't the same, and most restaurant chicken soup is too damned watery.

My Mom's "City Chicken." Substituted veal on skewers back when it was cheap.
Fried in a cast iron pan, then used the drippings to make gravy for the mashed potatoes. She's been gone many years. I miss my Mom.
My mom always used veal as well... ETA... Beef Stroganoff. But Mom made it tomato based. |

Not sure what to call them, but loved these as a kid, recently remembered them and made me a batch.
Tin of corned beef (not hash), about 3/4 cup shredded cheese, some chopped onion, tablespoon or two of ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire. Mix it all up and use it as filling in eight hamburger buns. Wrap each sandwich in foil (you can freeze some or all of them at this point if you want to). Bake until the buns are nice and crusty and the filling is melty and gooey. Enjoy. |

Up to about the age of 20, when I left home, my mom would cook every so often. She worked nights as an OB ward nurse and the Charge. She ran the show, so to speak. That being said a home cooked meal was somewhat special. When she wasn't available to cook, my dad and I would throw a Digiorno pizza in the oven or microwave up some frozen burritos. My mom would make this amazing lasagna once in a while that was heaven on a plate. Noodles, home made sauce, mozzarella and ricotta, Linguicia. Sourdough garlic bread and Ceasar salad. I would eat until I could not stand up from the table....just like Thanksgiving Dinner.
It's been at least 20 years since I've had her cooking. Pops had his mid-life crisis and split, so now the last few times I have gone to visit in CA we have eaten out or had pizza delivered. |
