Originally Posted By Kimrue No, it was because of the whole contorversy about my choice of words.

I believe the whole chain of posts that were a part of the heated bantering were removed. Sorry, it was my fault your post was removed.

I realize that now as a mom myself, sometimes it makes me sick to have to throw food away in my fridge. My mom has a fit when she comes over and sees me throwing food away...she's always like...WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? let's make some stock, that's going in soup! Too funny. I like the foil surprise approach, maybe I'll try that.

I ate so much of that stuff growing up that I don't think I could ever eat it again. It took years for me to eat boxed macaroni and cheese, scrambled eggs, VandeKamp's frozen enchiladas and to this day I still won't eat bologna. We didn't have a microwave in the mid-1970s so we couldn't heat up frozen meals fast. Now if I had been smart I would have opened one of my mom's many cookbooks and learned how to cook then instead of waiting until I got older.
