We had a very large garden where he grew vegetables and fruit, that is another memory with the regular harvesting of all that and straight into the kitchen. Far better than shop bought fruit and veg. and that's probably the same today, home-grown is much tastier.

That I guess was after he had been paid that week.We had a very large garden where he grew vegetables and fruit, that is another memory with the regular harvesting of all that and straight into the kitchen.

Popcorn used to be my favorite snack. I'd eat it precooked from a bag, stove top cooked, microwave cooked or hot popper cooked. They can all be good if it's just right. Popcorn in a bag has to be fresh. Hot popper cooked can be good with the right toppings.
But like Meg, after cracking my tooth on it, I gave it up. That was over 15 years ago. I still miss it.
