It was always a treat when dad took us to get 5 cent white castles. I still love-em to this day.
I knew all 4 of my great grandmas and all were good cooks. 2 were great bakers also. None of them measured anything. Mom says when she would ask how much of something, the answer was always a pinch, a smidgen, until it's thick/thin, so it looks right, etc....
Where are you still finding 5 cent White Castles??
They also used Lard as a base oil. Real sugar. Made their own Ice Cream.
Damn it my mouth is watering.
They're the reason I keep a jar full of bacon grease in the kitchen.
I'm going to make some Balls of Gold for supper tonight.
My mom always made a simple meal of macaroni, hamburger & onions and tomato juice with salt and pepper. Some call it American goulash or macaroni soup. Really simple and always taste great. Especially with some bread and butter !!
Damit. I am hungry now!
Only in my dreams.
5 cent Castles...15 cent McDonalds.
Yeah....I am an Fart.......
Fried Mush, my Grandmother used to make it for breakfast, and I still like it.
Kielbasa ( real polish sausage handmade). And pierogi love them today as much as a kid. Makes me think of my late Busia. She lived to be eighty seven eating what ever she wanted and drinking a warm beer every day!
