I have to laugh it is like he was quoting my mother. I remember sitting at the kitchen table for what seemed like hours because I didn't want to eat beans.
Same here! Ours was liver & onions
I thank God that my Mother hated liver and onions lol.
I think mine hated it, too. They seemed to suffer through it. We all just stared at it and mostly went hungry those nights. We had our tolerance limits, even then 😉
Same thing...I didn't want to eat canned peas...yuk...
I used to take peas and stuff them in my pants' pocket when the parents were otherwise engaged in discussion. I got away with it all the time. Kinda gross in the pants, but it was worth it.
And fried Spam!
You are giving me PTSD. My mom used to make a macaroni and cheese thing with canned peas and SPAM in it.
😄Sorry. At least you got needed carbs, veggie, fat and a ???bonus??? How did we manage to live through it.
My mom used to make this disgusting breakfast cereal called shredded wheat. She would break it up in a bowl, pour boiling water over it, drain it and add sugar and milk. Blech!! Babysitter made it day after day. I hated it. One day when I was about 5, I refused to eat it and she made me sit there until I did. I sat there until it was time for my mom to get home from work. Babysitter gave up and I never ate shredded wheat again,
Shredded Wheat, was simply repackaged Brillo pads.
Definitely! 🤮
Fond memories. My dad use to make this for me for breakfast. Didn't know putting hot water on shredded wheat was a thing back then. I thought it was special because dad made it for me. Now I'm depressed.
Ohhhhh I'm sorry. 😉
When I was a kid, for cereal it was either plain Cheerios or Shredded Wheat.
I actually liked the Shredded Wheat. I even ate it for awhile after I had moved out and had my own place.
But the prep was just taking the shredded wheat 'brick' and breaking it up a little and adding milk. Using hot water, first, sounds horrible.
Yeah we didn't get much in the form of cereals. Was a major think to get those little boxes. No wonder bread either. We were deprived, those Disney nights were special splitting that 6oz bottle of pop once a week with popcorn and apples!
I didn't eat something for dinner once and and my mom said she would serve it to me for breakfast. My sister said, mom you wouldn't do that.
Damn straight she did.
