I love ‘The Dinette Set’. A few of you are regular followers of it and make snide comments about the Penny’s everyday and today was no exception. I agree with you to some extent but today’s comic made me think of my own mother and her cooking, because we often had the same things over and over too – meatloaf, stew (made with a soup bone), homemade chicken noodle soup made with the chicken’s wings or backs (they were the cheapest parts back then), spaghetti – and yeah even with 4 kids there were often leftovers. My dad worked in the steel mills and there were 2 strikes, 1 in 1956 and the horrendous one in 1959. The 1959 strike lasted nearly 4 months. Money was scarce and we were lucky to have food on the table at all. No one worried about nutrition.
Julie, some of your followers are as vile as they think the Pennys’ are.
