    sorry, guys, no punch line here, this was no comedy schtick.
    My mom, married 1 month out of highschool, eloped.
    married at 18
    first child at 19
    me at 20
    devorced at 21. she had no job skills or training. she worked 3 jobs to keep an apartment and food in the house.
    I remember alot of times when there was no electricity because she could not afford to pay the bill.
    But my life was easy compared to what my gal endured.
    i didnt have a father but at least I had a mom, who still to this day, i consider the most valuable thing EVER in my life!


    the poorest person on earth is an orphan !

    Not so good was canned Dinty Moore beef stew baked with a Bisquick topping, nor flank steak (or some other cheap cut) simmered in an electric skillet with the ever present canned stewed tomatoes throw in for who the Hell knows what reason. Mom called it "Swiss steak" but I hold the Swiss blameless. Tuna casserole (tuna, canned peas, Campbell's mushroom soup, noodles) is a dish I swear I will never eat again, so help me God.
    I forgot about Swiss Steak until this post. I don't remember it being horrible, but I did get it fed to me several times. It was served over egg noodles.

    A caller called into a Seattle radio station a couple of months ago. I forget what the QOTD was, but the guy mentioned that when he was growing up, he was fed a lot of Hamburger Helper. To make food stretch further, his mom would put maybe 1/4 pound of hamburger in the mix. One night, when he and his wife were newlyweds, she asked what he would like for dinner. He hadn't had Hamburger Helper in a long time, so he said he'd like to have that. He's watching TV while his wife happily made dinner. She placed the plate in front of him, proud as can be. He took a bite and said, "what did you do?" His wife started crying and said she followed the directions on the box. He had to tell her that the food was good, he just didn't know it was made with that much hamburger. He told his mom about this and she laughed, and told him about how she made it.

    I like that scene from National Lampoon's Vacation when Cousin Eddie asks "I don't know why they call this Hamburger Helper when it does just fine on its own"

    Oh, here it is...

    My step-mom would make us eat our cold cereal with juice in it instead of milk. They would buy concentrated apple and grape juice and we put it in our generic cold cereal, like rice chex or cheerios or the like. Not a good mix. I'm sure Gnomey could put a lot of things I was "forced" to eat as a kid, she knows how "great" my step mom was.

    I am a Swede, which is to say, of Nordic extraction, not a rutabaga, nor a turnip (in the U.S.). I only found out youse guys use "Swede" as a word for such gross root vegetables when I went looking for pastie recipes, and found that many call for 'em. They were yet another awful thing Dad loved. My wife still makes him his very own turnip when he comes for Thanksgiving dinner every year

    I love broccoli so much, if ever I walk down the aisle, my posy of flowers will be bunches of broccoli!
    In fact, come think about it, if I'm not hitched by the time I'm 50, I'll ask the broccoli to marry me!

    Don't worry Dread, I wouldn't retch or gag if ever you were presented on my table for eating!

    Yeah. That's pretty tame for the crap she pulled over on him and his sibs. I won't go into it, but she is never allowed contact with any of my family. Ever.

    As for food, she would also stick a whole fish in the oven and bake it. No seasonings, no marinade, nothing. He'd have to eat that too. It makes my parents' liver meals not that bad.

    I've always been fairly picky. My mother always irratated me because it would be something like onions on my burger and she would say "you can't taste it". Buuuullshit. It's a damn onion. You taste that for the rest of the day. My dad was so much better. Mostly because he was/is pickier than I was/am.
