By the way Hannibal how is your bipolar? Hope you're doing alright. Because I know that bipolar can be very difficult. Take care.
Still crazy lol, It was a bad problem for years before I realized how crazy I was. I would get stuck places watching signs, colors, counting EVERYTHING, everything had to have a pattern, it was a hard life to live, finding flaws everywhere, I still do. I walk into a place and start counting flaws in the floor, the ceiling. Somebody puts a bumper sticker on sideways and it is so irritating lol. As long as I don't get stuck with a smacker, I am ok. You put me in a room with somebody smacking like chewing gum, they gonna stop chewing gum or I get violent, so stupid. The sound of spoons clanking against a bowl keeps me out of restaruants.

As a grown up he says he loves cheese and bean burritos for breakfast. Not my cup of tea .
That was kind of the point of the article. I grew up on canned vegetables, canned soup, etc., and then when the '80s hit and food became a trendy thing among the masses, canned foods were OUT.

The article to which I responded was being daring in asking people to come out of the closet with their canned-food secrets.

We probably have 300 cans of vegies and fruit we put up ourselves, but I still buy alot of cans, canned tomatoes is the only gold. I could sell a quart o tomatoes for 8 bucks, I just don't want to share, we don't make 700 quarts a year, maybe 150, and everybody begs me for them, like gold to me, I don't feel right unless I drink two quarts of tomatoes a day. I would pay ten bucks for a quart of tomatoes when I don't have any.

We used to eat a lot of canned Campbell's soup. And canned vegetables. I guess it was a cheaper way to feed a bunch of kids.

Also canned peaches or pears for dessert sometimes.

Well there were only 3 of us kids. We rarely had dessert. Sometimes ice cream. We did have that fruit cocktail sometimes that came in a can. That was good .

We usually did have some type of dessert. My mother was a better baker than a cook, so after our overcooked, dried-out meat with canned vegetables and mashed potatoes (which we ate almost every day, was the best part of the meal, and is still my favorite food, lol) we almost always had some kind of cake or pie or cookies. We were all as skinny as rails, too.

I liked fruit cocktail, too.

I eat fruit everyday unless I eat a can of pinapples, I eat alot of meat, and I get this craving after eating a steak where it's like I am thirsty, but not thirsty, and the only thing that fixes it, is a can of pinapples.
