Reminiscing on your Home Ec class brought memories here as well. Remember in Cooking we made Butterscotch Pralines using non instant butterscotch pudding and pecans (along with other ing.) Still think of those. Altho a bit sweet, they were still eaten. 1st semester cooking and 2nd of Sewing. LOL pair of pj’s made. To be more accurate...sewn together. They did not last long at all. Sewing and needles were never a friend.
Anyways...back to food and remembering the meals our lunch rooms served when a child in school. Some were seldom finished, but many time seconds would have never been turned away. Hot rolls, bread pudding, Salisbury steak, pried fish. Googled lunch recipes and found the offering so much more appetizing than what is currently being served to the serf-children in the queen’s court these days.
