I grew up with 'Uncle Walter'. As much as I enjoyed Sunday Morning, I no longer watch the national news. I only watch my local for the weather.

That sounds divine! Growing the green grocers used kale as decor. Grandmere grew it and we were raised on greens and root veg. Her greatest lunch was feeding all her grangchildren with a pound of 1 ounce portioned of mince, on toast, topped with an over medium egg. Soooooo good.

It's worth it; but a French grandmere tip: spread your onions on a tray and put in a 200F oven for about 4 hours. Your patience will be rewarded.

Ironically the Black Panthers hit the FBI radar in the 60s for setting up places to feed school children breakfast and funding their lunches. Hoover declared that 'radical'. I remember, and all younger please study your local history.

My DIL did this. The 12 yo will try anything, and loves sushi; the 8 yo thrives on bread, bread, cheese and fruit.

That sounds a plan! Mum baked a ton, and whenever it was on sale she'd buy extra and freeze it.

When we were in Ohio a journalist friend stated his smell would 'gag a maggot off the gut wagon'. I cracked up having heard the term from my Ranger Dad. If you don't know, a gut wagon is where the MASH would toss amputated limbs.

You know, instead of making noise outside the hotels, just hose down their vehicles. You and I know these idiots don't know how to thaw out a frozen door.

When our son was a stroppy teen, he'd make fun of us for buying 'fancy' serving dishes. He married with 2 kids and their wish list are full of nice service ware. The carving board we got him for his 40th is still in heavy rotation.
