We didn’t have pinto beans but we had plenty of fried potatoes with wiener gravy for dinner. My mom canned all summer so in the winter we would have the potatoes and gravy with a home grown veggie and homemade cornbread or biscuits. We always had desert too - one homemade cookie, a big spoon full of bread pudding or a very small piece of white cake. Really wasn’t too bad and I don’t recall ever being hungry. My mom always worked but she spent a lot of time in the kitchen in the evening and weekends and everyone knew how to cook.
