Food where? We had lots of good food at home and summer fruits and
vegetables were great. Not so great in the winter because we did not
have access to fresh fruit and vegetables out of season like we have
now. We could get some frozen vegetables but usually had to use them up
right away because our tiny freezers did not hold much.

We rarely went to restaurants. My father had a modest income there was
no money for fancy restaurants. My mother's cooking was better than the
average diner.
