Our Grandma could never waste a home grown apple, no matter how small or wormy. She would find this mess in the front yard disturbing.
I'm the same when it comes to wasting meat, case in point, this macaroni casserole made with bits of leftover roast pork and onion gravy stashed in the freezer. Delicious + fattening,
Mom would have fed 8 people with this. Creative casseroles were big in the 1950's. We weren't picky eaters as kids and scarfed down whatever was on the table, from salmon loaf to canned Chung King.
No one had ever heard of "low carb" and meat and potatoes reigned. She was a frugal cook and carefully doled out five servings for dinner. There were rarely leftovers and bread was the end filler, followed by dessert, often just a dish of jello or a canned peach half.
The rain keeps coming, and we've already received a month's worth in a couple days. The parched Seattle yards are greening up again. It was an exceptional summer, but everyone seems happy getting back to fall routines. Not to mention, football.
