Pretty much everything my mother made was yucky.
She knew of two spices; salt and garlic salt.
BOOOOO-RRRRINGGGG!!
You had GARLIC salt,,wow
My mom just used salt and pepper.
But she was clever, when ever the family was short on cash she made pancakes for supper and told us it was because we had been good!
Meatloaf.
My parents would make me sit at the dinner table till 8 or 9 pm alone until I ate the dam Meatloaf. I never did eat the stuff so they would then send me to bed. I still to this day ask my mom about this LOL, why force me to eat!
