As my mother would say, "There are people starving in _________" So I was adjured to eat the burnt toast.

My mom was the most frugal person ever. Raised us the same. There was children starving in Ethiopia.
It’s too bad that the Frugal Gourmet guy turned out to be a molester. I used to love watching that and other channel 9 shows with mom.

Boy do I love a good grilled cheese. One of my first memories of them was with my mom at a Woolworth's (!) lunch counter. I must have been about 5 or 6 years old.

My stepmom used to make em with jelly inside.

I wasn't a huge fan of liver but I liked brussel sprouts. I finally learned to like liver.

Oh yeah. Kind of a trip. I met another dude born at the same place as me and your kid.
I was in the irrigation isle in home depot when somebody asked me a question. The convo evolved from the giants hat i was wearing, to the hated dodgers, then to you know where lol. Guy was born in ‘59 though

Got all the water pipe in the trenches around the house. Leant @raratt a finish nailer, did some finish plumbing and just finished insulating some of the hot water lines underfloor. Got the floor being insulated next monday.
Oh yeah. About 4 hrs of gardening before starting that other work. Stake and tying time. Gotta do the same tomorrow. Started at 3am. I might be missing a few things lol FML

Thankfully my mom rarely fixed brussel sprouts. Liver is my mom's favorite so we had liver once a month.
Wrinkles was also a fan of liver. She ate well on liver night because my sister and I both played "Sleight Of Hand" magic tricks.

It's been near 50 years since brussel sprouts and/or liver has been on my plate.


And I'm ok with that.

Years ago I sold a house to people and they invited me over for a traditional middle eastern dinner. Brussel sprouts was on the menu, and I could not choke more than 1 down. The meat was good, whatever it was.

I remember they had this huge waterpipe in the kitchen, and I kept glancing at it...He said "That's my dads, for tobacco". :( I was hoping it was desert.

I have family that think burnt toast is a delicacy.

Mom and dad divorced when I was like 2, when I would go visit dad during holidays and summer break he would attempt to cook.

He burned the toast EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I complained and he would just scrap off the burned part with a knife, apparently that's easier than turning the toaster down just a bit. And he could only make scrambled eggs, I asked for over easy every morning and all I ever got was scrambled eggs.

Man that sucks dude.
I gotta admit and it’s kind of embarrassing, but when my ex left me i actually had to call my mommy and ask how or if i should separate whites from colors, bleach, the whole thing. I sware I had never done my own laundry before that.




But I never burn toast lol. And now ever since the fire i just wash everything together in cold water :-(

I actually bet you might like the liver I make. My kids loved it and that's saying something. I cool it way down so I can cut it into matchstick pieces and heavily flour and spice it. The pan fry in butter. It was like meaty flavored french fries if you did it right.

My husband would toss a slab of liver in the skillet, fry and eat it. That always made me a little queasy.

You're a guy so at least you had an excuse. I turned all my ex husbands underwear pink.
