Sandwich Experimenting

Well you tried it. I totally get it too, especially if molasses isn't really a favored flavor.

It's about nostalgia or tradition as much as it is the taste for some of us. A Fall Friday or Saturday dinner to stretch the budget was its most likely cause of its popularity in my 70's raising.

If it was zucchini bread or canned brown bread for a snack I'd probably enjoy the zucchini bread more.

We had Hamburgers, potato chips and Jello on Saturdays and Steamers (boiled hotdogs), potato chips and Jello on Sundays growing up in the 60's

lol, Jello must have been cheap then,(70's for me, I was in diapers in the 60's) we had jello for dessert once or twice a week (dessert certainly wasn't an every day thing at our house)

Assuming things weren't financially pinched (they sometimes were) mom had a thing about Sunday dinners, that was a day that you didn't get to have dinner at a friend's house, you had better be home for dinner, it was a family sit down meal, usually something like a roast beef, pork roast, a baked chicken, pot roast. It might be spaghetti with all the fixings or a haddock or cod fish fry. Mom made a terrific beer battered fish fry, clam fritters and a manhattan clam chowder. Fish was a less expensive healthy food back then iirc, not like today where ordinary fish is quite expensive.

Well we were in a pretty good financial position. My father worked in the day and my mother worked part-time as a nurse in the emergency dept at the local hospital from 4 to midnight. She couldn't cook though. Her main dishes were Tuna Casserole and Noodles Almondine, both yuk!!! My father did most of the cooking after dropping my mother off at the hospital. Fried steak, fried porkchops, meatloaf, stuff like that every week. Not complaining though.

Will never forget the large rice pudding dishes my Grandmother made back in 50s-60s for cousin and I. she would put a dried red bean in it and whoever got the bean won a quarter.

Ha! that was similar to an easter tradition in our house. My great aunt was more a grandmother than either of my grandmothers and would come to our house for holidays and bbqs or just to play cards. She baked these small sweet danish like breads with a easter egg in the center. Whoever got the one with a penny in it won a prize. I miss that ole gal. She was a sweetheart.

I finished off the canned bread Thursday. It wasn't that bad. I wouldn't buy it again but if I was offered some I'd take it. I didn't get the raisin bread, not into raisins.

Thanks for the offer of your bourbon or whiskey but it would be wasted on me. I'd be barfing all over the place. The last time I had whiskey was Oct 21 1978. I had 7 shots of Jack Daniels in a hour after an Italian wedding. Never been so ****faced in my life. All that pasta in tomato sauce didn't stay where it should have. Most of it made it out the car door but not all of it. They next day I went to a gun show where I kept smelling pizza all over. There could have been an unsightly incident. I'm sure you understand,

Bought some nice looking home grown tomatoes at a road side stand on the way home today. Picked up a half loaf of fresh bread and have lettuce and bacon for BLT tomorrow. Can hardly wait…..
