It might have been one of the Big snow storms...Was it the blizzard of 67???? Some are too young to remember .LOL Ok going to start a new routine. Going to Zumba and sweat some fat off. See ya later.

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS

GETTING READY TO GO OUT FOR BRUNCH WITH THE HUBBY
& THAN OFF TO DO SOME STUFF..:)

HAVE A GOOD ONE & I WILL C U ALL LATER..:)

All the mentions about food and especially that it was a Brooklyn thing reminded me of my childhood. When I was a kid Cold Cuts were for special occasions like company coming for lunch, picinics, the beach outing etc:. When we wanted a quick lunch or a snack it was as follows. Ketchup & butter sandwiches, mustard & butter sandwiches, sliced bannana,sugar, & butter sandwiches. Tomato,mayo & butter sandwiches were big items in the summer. A Campbell beans & butter sandwich was special! You notice butter was on everything. Of course once WW2 started we had to use oleomargarine. The Parkay bag with the white lard looking stuff and a red spot which you pinched and then kept squeezing the package until it was all yellow. When my Mother let me do the squeezing I felt honored. I was the youngest and there was plenty of sibling rivalry going on. Very seldom use butter even today. Use one of the Healthy margarines. We did have good dinners every night and especially Sunday Dinner which was always a roast. Our house had an open door Sunday. My Mother never knew how many friends we would all bring home. She loved it. We used to get a whole Messing layer cake like the ones that the Deli's sold slices off. A big bag of rolls from the bakery topped off a great meal.

Goodmorning Everyone

Hi Warren ....wow...interesting that you said butter was on everything
I wonder if thats the reason we all have high cholesterol in this day!

Did you remember the Bakery on 15st above 5th ave....I cant believe
I forgot the name of it .....wait maybe Ebinger's. I also remember Larsen's
but not sure where they were.

The Loft's chocolate store next to Kresgee's

Daniel's Florist on 9st and 5th ave

I remember my Mom always making a steak for dinner during the week
and Roast Beef or Lasagna on Sundays .....they always included fresh
mashed potatoes and a vegetable with a salad.

Funny I just read this Meatless Monday from back in the day!
