A long time ago my Mom told me they were so poor during the depression
that they sometimes ate onion and catsup sandwiches - sometimes only
catsup - and "were grateful we had them". We were poor growing up, but
never *that* poor. My Mom's gone now, but I honestly don't think there
is anything I don't know about her eating habits. I stole a bunch of
her recipes when we went through her stuff, after she passed. She
never did write out some of her "famous" recipes, and I'm still trying
to approximate them, three years later. Can't call her up anymore to
say "Hey - how do I do so-and-so?" :*(
