When I was young I missed out on a lot of good meals because I could never
bring myself to eat chicken from my Grandmother's table. I loved to play
with her chickens and the thought of eating them made me sad. I'm still a
sentimental old fool.

They think it is the bottled stuff. Well some is but I add a can of chopped
tomatoes to the sacue and add bottled stuff to make it go further. They like
quantity If I cooked them a half grilled tomato to go with eggs they
would leave the tomato.

I remember watching Gramma slit Henrietta's throat and bleed her into a
bowl. I couldn't wait!

I remember looking in the food section at Christmas time at the now gone
Frederick and Nelson store. They had Reindeer Meatballs in a can. I picked
it up and remarked to my friend how it was such a cute name for a Christmas
food. Then I looked at the ingredients! Didn't think it was so cute after
that.
