Only that Mom hated to cook so she bought frozen "dinners" when they became
available in the late 1960's/early 70's. You know, "frozen turkey in gravy"
where there was more gravy than anything you could call turkey? That and
boxed mashed potatoes or Minute rice.

When I was 5, we lived in New Jersey and Mom went on a shopping trip to NYC
with her girlfriends, leaving Dad to cook for us. He made spaghetti, but he
neglected to drain the pasta. He dumped the sauce, which probably would
have been pretty good, into the water and we've made fun of his watery
spaghetti ever since.
