[QUOTE="Lil, post: 653560, member: 17309"] Huh? That's interesting. As a matter of fact, my mother was mostly Irish (her grandfather came from Ireland) - with some French, Scot and American Indian thrown in. Dad's dad was 100% German - but we have no idea what his mother's heritage was as she died when he was a toddler. We ate a lot of potatoes growing up...well a lot of everything really. My mom was a great country cook, but I think growing up in the depression did something to the meal-planning. I remember my parents saying that if the family cleaned the table - not your plate, the TABLE - it would be a good day tomorrow. Dinner was always meat, potatoes, two veggies, salad, bread and dessert. Breakfast on a weekend for the whole family might be eggs, some type of meat (maybe more than 1), potatoes, toast, jelly, sweet rolls and fruit - ALL of those things! There was a reason we grew up into big people. LOL...I guess I kind if hijacked your thread, huh? :D [/QUOTE]
