Times change, Moldy. Do you have an air fryer yet? I've delivered a million of em, and I'm a Mailman. They don't really fit in your standard envelope.
Mrs. Bunker mentioned getting one, and I kneed her in the groin, gouged her eye, put her in a headlock, ran her outside to the washing machine, and ran her tit up in the wringer! It ain't fried unless it's fried in hog fat in a cast iron sk**let!

I have a whole set of cast iron sk**lets. But I haven’t used any lard or manteca in decades. The air fryer is great for a quick meal for two. Sometimes we just have to stop chopping wood.

Thanks for the memories of these things.

#4 I remember eating Pizza Pie as it was called between ‘45 and ‘50. Don’t remember the exact year but I do remember the name. It was a drive in called Hula Shack or something like that. Went there in a '32 Chevy cut down into a pickup.

#6 I remember eating rice in the Chinese restaurant my parents liked to frequent.

#8 My mother used to cut the ends out of cans and attach the cut out part then fill the can with something she called Brown Betty (I think) which was like a bread

#14 A neighbor used to put the milk on the window sill after milking and not in the refrigerator. In a few days he would slice it and eat it. My dad said I did not have to eat with him if I didn’t want too.

#16 We left the skins on the potatoes and baked them, then ate them.

#18 We called cooking outside a weenie roast or a marshmallow roast and we used to do that in the evenings in the pasture. Then we went inside and went to bed.

#21 Prunes were very dried plums and dried apricots we ate as snacks. We also ate wheat that was heated in a frying pan and was sort of like popcorn. We filled our pockets with those snacks and munched on them anytime.

Fortunately, I've been successful enough in life that I can afford one of those lectric stoves, so we don't chop wood anymore.
