I like to poach salmon with some fennel fronds and a few thin slices of lemon and sweet onion in the water.

If I have celery, then creamed tuna on toast. I have to have celery in it, though.

Looks good. I like your video, too

Oh, to be on the road again! Thanks for sharing. What's a treet salad?

Wow, beautiful photo/vegetable. Makes me want to jump in.

You're right. I forgot about those. I actually do buy Spam sometimes, but like I said, mostly for emergency rations. So Spam fried rice would be one of those.

Spam. Let me count the ways. *Hawaiian Saimin *Emergency rations Hmm. Guess that's it. 😃

This stopped me in my tracks. Bravery on behalf of workers is the highest calling, second only to teachers.

I just found this. I wish I had back then. Anyway, wow, thanks!!

Canned peaches over cottage cheese. That's it, nothing else. Standard 1950s salad, but considered a bit high(er) class -- at least in my family and neighborhood circles. 😄

Thank you for this important reminder! And fast healing to you.

What is "reverse seared" please? This looks SO delicious!

I've had steel-cut oats but I didn't like the texture. I grew up with what in our extended family was called "mush," which was cooked oatmeal with milk and a little sugar. A big pot every single morning for years.* Sometimes leftovers were fried in a little butter. This was in the 1940s and '50s so it was probably just whatever regular oatmeal was available then. *Edited to add that we did have other things every once in awhile -- bacon and eggs, our version of French toast, etc. But it wasn't usual.

Hi, what great questions! Thanks for asking them. I will be hanging out hoping to learn. : )

Strain bacon grease? Yes, I do. But, what I'd really like to know is how long is it safe to keep it in the fridge? A few days? A month? A year? I know what you're going to say. Yours would never last that long. 😃
