My mom and dad separated while me and my three siblings were still very young. My mom was a nurse that worked second shift at a nursing home which meant my older sister fed us most nights. We were eating fritters a lot for supper which was flour and water mixed and fried like a pancake. Fried in grease made them even worse but hey we went to bed full.......... most nights! This was in the early and mid 60’s

I can remember eating white bread with seasoning salt. Summer time I would spend with my grandparents, grandma always cleaned out the fridge and always had a jar of home canned pickled beets, love those things still.
We always had fresh vegetables and of course sweet corn in the Land of Lincoln.

Bologna boats, pan fry a slice of bologna until it forms the shape of a cup, then fill it with mash potato's and top with caramelized onions, then cover with cheese..When you have that ready put it in the oven, just to melt the cheese..
