We did not go out to eat either we ate home cooked food. I recall when I saw a cereal commercial and I asked mom if we could have some she thought I had lost my mind. We ate eggs, oatmeal, or malt-o-meal or cream of wheat. All the years I raised my children we only ate out maybe once a month other than that we ate home cooked foods.

We never ate out. My mother fried the oysters. We lived about 50 miles North of West Bay which is Northwest of Panama City Beach. Oysters and seafood were plentiful. I remember eating Corn Flakes once but that was Sunday evening before church. We had been visiting my grandmother that afternoon. Breakfast was biscuits and eggs usually with home grown and smoked meats with home made jellies and preserves.

I didn't hear you.

Quote: That sounds amazing. It's interesting how much the typical breakfast varies from country to country. The French and other Middle-Europeans have their pastries, Brits have the English breakfast, and in Finland breakfast is usually sandwiches, with some ham, cheese and veggies on top. Rye bread is pretty common (the real kind made with mainly rye), and sometimes perhaps a boiled egg. Kids eat cereal, and muesli is pretty popular too. And porridge, usually made with oatmeal.

Dialing my bator in because I've gone and done it and went crazy on eBay.... Hatching fever is officially out of remission and I'm going to stock my (yet to be built) coop. I figured having something solid in front of me will light the fire under my behind to get the coop built. Little postal boxes headed my way as we speak: Olive eggers, welsummers, cinnamon queens and chocolate eggers (welsummer x marans).
Just the thought is SO eggciting!

Ha! That's funny. I just turned mine off!

I dug out my camera again today.

"But I want to eat some chicken food. Why not?"

I pressed "QUOTE" but it didn't. I wanted to comment about "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly." I cannot agree that it is a kids movie. We watched it when my son was maybe 8 years old. The next day, maybe the day after that, my brother in law was over and he caught my son standing on a box in the garage with a rope tied to a rafter and just placing a noose around his own neck. I cannot image my life without him and from then on, we didn't watch anything similar. Having a movie with a man repeatedly surviving a hanging is very very bad for a child to watch.

That must have scared you pretty badly. Kids can react so differently to what they see.

We only went out for Birthday Dinner--often a Hamburger place. There were not McDonnalds and etc. close either.

No TV Dinners. We all had to learn to cook--Mom went back to school to become a Teacher after my Dad came down with Multiple Sclerosis so the kids all had to chip in to help.

Oh, I forgot to add that Mom was also working full time.
