OH WOW I laughed so hard at your post!! I know....It's terrible...maybe it just wasn't made right. My mom's not the greatest cook...not enough patience quite honestly. Are you going to chickenstock? If we are able to make it,( I REALLY hope to) you might bring me some to try

We ate a lot of creamed things on toast too when I was growing up - creamed peas, asparagus, chipped beef, hamburger, corn, tomatoes - pretty much anything they could get out of the garden or on sale. The "fancy nights" my Nana would make salmon patties with creamed peas. I have to say a favorite of mine was side pork. It was cheaper than bacon and tasted a lot better too. I would beg my grandma all the time to fry it with some home fries and gravy.

I practically lived with my grandparents and great grandma so I ate all the depression foods and thankfully learned a lot about living on less. My kids, well they are having a really hard time right now as I'm bringing all these things front and center in our home.

I was totally kidding about bringing me fried okra to try...I don't think that I made obvious enough that I was, and I don't want you to think I am really trying to get you to bring me some!

They are awesome!! I haven't had them in sooooo long!! My Yankee husband won't eat the stuff I grew up eating

We eat them with ketchup. My dad eats them with either ketchup or tarter sauce. He's from PA....he embraced it....why can't my husband??? LOL​

We often had nights where all we ate for supper was pop corn & fudge.......

30second fudge

1 jar peanut butter
1 jar vanilla icing

Put both in microwave for 30seconds to soften then mix together and spread into 8x8 pan.
Easy and sooo yummy!
