Sure, I’ll Eat That

I spoke once briefly about how when I was a kid we didn’t have much food or money, so we had to eat what we had. We ate a lot of spaghetti and chili, because we could make a bunch of it at a time and it was cheap. There were six of us, so we had to make it all stretch.

We even spent time at the Free Store waiting on food. We got all the great government stuff. Butter, cheese… those soup cans that had no label so you never knew what you had.

We learned that if we wanted to eat, we had to eat what we had. So we learned to like everything, or more so, tolerate everything. And NOTHING went to waste.
