Should have migrated with the other Arcadians 300 years ago -- Louisiana looks good this time of year.
In fairness, as a native of NE Ohio, I must say that the appearance of the sun, sans heavy haze, was a rare event for most of my youthful experience.

Yeah, I know.
I actually thought those 'ads' were related to Jello's Lard but it was just a coincidence that the british Viz magazine ran these lard spoofs at about the same time (87 or 88 I think).
"making the most of every last bit."
Me, too.
I am aware my father's voice is coming through about food waste (he knew a poverty most today cannot imagine*).
I get really wound up to see self-served food left on plates!
I have a Irish friend who peels potatoes a good 10mm! I NEVER peel potatoes.
I want the space and time to make proper stocks, but mostly fail at this.
Sorry, that's a rant and will probably pull the thread elsewhere.
*in the affluent west, that is.
My mother was born in 1934 and grew up on a farm. Make do and mend as well as no waste has always been a byword. I inherited that and still hate any form of wastage. So I applaud that.
Stale bread... bread and butter pudding
Paf in the noze ! taste it ! (Grand Pa maked the best !)

Who said the food was poor? Just didn't waste it. On the farm were chickens and pigs and cows. fresh eggs, milk straight from the cow. vegetables out the garden. Apparantly the village had a barter system so whoever slaughtered an animal shared it out.
I believe because my poor English (or because you dign't live it ?) you don't understood what I try to explain...
Damned not better meal than fresh Moriiles from the wood with true eggs from the farm (so : not white shell and red-orange center of the egg (the more mais, vegetables the chicken eats, the more yellow-red-orange is the earth of your egg: of course the better it tastes! !)
Maybe a just few truffle? No it will waste the refinned Morille !
God bless Morilles !

Yep sorry, seems to me I should make some effort and have grammar training (sorry sincerly to be not as precise i would be...
; it's not I doesn't want... it's more lazyness and lake of real practice ! I hope you will forgive me. I'm most of the time sincerly blessed to waste the Shakespear language !)(PS: btw: a real pain to not understand as it was my first language some writters as old English from Shaspeare, or for Instance some very known like Keats ! Strangly it seems easier to me to understand german ones despite the bigger gap in language ! Not saying about italians whom seems to me nearer from my understanding (which is not logical... )

Jeeze Bill, even I understood what he was saying, that his mother's family in France was poor but the food was the opposite, just like yours. That they made the most of what they had, which included fresh ingredients, just like your family did. Where did you see a disparaging remark?
