LOL!!!!
Makes a turd...
Correct. Wish I could find ma Lurkin’s Betty Crocker book, but seems to have disappeared during a move.
Hey!
Frank n Bean Bake, Sombrero Pie and Ribbon Meatloaf are still pretty good comfort food.
The rest - meh. Most I never tried.
One was even worse. They thought it was probably a good dish but bristled at it saying something about pleasing your man.
My wife was raised in the 60’s and embraced the teaching about marriage. No wonder we’ve been happily married for so long and going stronger every year.
Also, she’s such a good cook that the only reason we ever go out to eat is to give her a break.
I have actually had and really liked, Cheeseburger pie.
a couple could be made today to be edible
but they all did have a caveat as being budget meals,....
Still have the Cheeseburger Pie from time to time. However, we call it Hamburger Cheese Plop...
Peas look way over cooked in any case
Sometimes, we would get a slice of cheese with time. Sometimes, tomatoes (if they were in season), and sometimes mustard. But usually only bologna and mayo.
Drinks? Dad had one of those gallon jugs we put in the freezer the night before and would pass around. Mom would pour a sippy cup for the little kids, but by the time you were six or seven, you drank straight from the jug.
I grew up on dollar-stretching food. Had a full-time Mom.
Goulash, tuna casserole, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, salmon patties, Jello salads, sausage & kraut, chicken & dumplings, baked beans, pot roast, rice (then rice pudding tomorrow), stuffed cabbage, Koolaid.
I make molded seafood mousse. Bad-mouthed but actually delicious.
To many peas and WTF are those orange things? cumquats?
We have a copy published in 1974. I use it often for biscuits and rolls.

I still have my Grandmother’s Betty Crocker cookbook from the 1930’s. The only cook book I’ve found since then that is comparable for variety and sound cooking instructions is Julia Childs’ “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. The 70’s were pretty weird though. It was the first stage of women transitioning from full-time homemaker to part-time homemaker. Those recipes were attempts to create elegant home style dishes with precooked foods that were proliferating. I think I’ll get a few cookbooks from that era. They were very imaginative and colorful.
Haha. Dump dinners.
I just cracked up yesterday when Trump kept referring to the HUGE DUMP, referring to the dumping of votes early in the morning.
All we are saying is give peas a chance
Us too. But since this damned Covid nonsense we’ve not been ‘out’ even on our anniversary, 41 years.
We go only to places that have drive thru, and even then we are careful...........
Oh it wasn’t all bad, I lived on fried bologna sangwiches

I love fried bologna sandwiches. Fry up the sliced bologna in a pan with butter. Little pit of mayo. Lettuce if you wish. Lightly toast the bread. Mmm. Mmm.
I make a version of cheeseburger pie.
In a square 8x8 dish, I layer cooked, seasoned (to your taste) hamburger, pressed down firmly.
Add a layer of thin slices of tomatoes.
Then spread your choice of cheese (the “meltier” the better)over the tomatoes.
Then add a layer of “mostly” baked tater tots and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes or so. I call it “Tater Tot Cheeseburger”.
You can experiment with other ingredients you put on your burger.
Its DUMP Dinners!
Remember: eat every carrot and pea on your plate.
