My Mom said when she was a girl they didn't have canned tuna so their Friday meal was sometimes canned peas mixed with hard-boiled eggs. Yuck! I think with a meal like that I would have rather gone without dinner.

When I was a kid I remember giving up things for Lent but I never was told why, nor what was the point other than that's what Catholics do. I gave up bubblegum one time and the Easter Bunny included a big box of it in my Easter basket. Talk about confusion!

Those tuna sandwiches were for First Fridays throughout the year. We brought our lunch boxes to school and ate in our classroom after mass because we had to fast from midnight until we received HC. It was either tuna, peanut butter/jelly or egg sandwiches. In our thermos was chocolate milk and desert was a devil dog and I find that so appropriate now. Some kids would trade their apple for a devil dog.

We had homemade, real potato pancakes for dinner Fri nights.

Not fried up, reheated mashed potatoes either.

My favorite meal in the world. With sour cream, too.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Meatless Fridays were no hardship for me.
