Dan's baking thread sparked this memory!! What kinds of meals did you have over and over when you were growing up? Was there a "special" meal that you remember, one that was only made on certain occasions?
We lived on a farm and had a huge garden, so corn on the cob was always a side, as were cold sliced beefsteak 'maters! YUM!!!
My stepmother wasn't a big cook, so she made pretty bland meals.
-Burgers.
-Pork Chops.
-LIVER! UGH!!!
-Creamed chicken on toast. This was our "special meal". I don't remember what the occasion was.
-Ravioli.
-Meatloaf.
-Lamb. I won't touch the stuff now. The only way I could eat it then was if it was slathered in mint jelly.
I was a slow eater and it used to annoy my parents, so they came up with a rule just for me. Whatever was left on my plate when everyone else was done, went into the fridge and I had to eat it for breakfast! Cold! My sister felt sorry for me, so she would eat off my plate when they weren't looking so I wouldn't have to eat it for breakfast.
