I gave this recipe that Mom used to make for us to the cook at one of the local restaurants. I don't know if he has added it to their menu yet. BELT sandwich Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato She would sometimes use leftover scrambled, but would sometimes fry the egg hard. Mustard on the bread against the bacon. Mayonnaise on the bread against the lettuce. Lemon pepper on the egg. So, I could go to school with a BELT in my lunch bag. Pops

Sounds good Pops. I took great pleasure in preparing my kids sandwiches when they were at school, I have no doubt she knew the same feeling. Its the little things that seem to mean the most when you look back. I have had several adventures and some huge paydays, but the memories of making those sandwiches are better.
Later my daughter told me friends would remark 'Oh you have cheese with that...' She would reply, 'No, thats how my dad cuts butter'. I mean, who spreads it? Just cut slices...

During the years I was a single father to 4 kids, I used MANY of my Mother's one-pot meals. I was in charge of 990 acres of farm, so was working rather long hours. Mixed memories of those days. More good ones than bad, though. My daughter claims I taught her 576 different recipes for beans'n'wienies. Pops

OK, being as you asked. I used to make meal for my kids that were,,, not what they expected. 'Baked beans on toast surprise' The surprise being I cut out the toast except for the crust. They only found out then they dig into the beans. Also uncooked spaghetti as a garnish and many other daft tricks..

I remember when stoves had a "stew pot" buried at the back of the stove top. Sunday evening was stew night, featuring EVERYTHING we had not finished eating during the week.Sometimes, it was quite good. (Note that I said "sometimes." ) Nowadays, we don't have such built into the stoves, but I know many who keep a slow-cooker (crock-pot) plugged in all week long for the same reason. Pops

Pops I remember those stoves with the 'built-in' deep pot (as grandmother named it). Ma'cookin had a Hotpoint brand, with push-button controls, one set for each 'eye'. She was my city-grandmother, my country-grandmother had a wood cook stove. Both were excellent cooks, and either one would have been right at home in a Jimmy Stewart movie, if you know what I mean.
That electric stoves didn't have an indicator to let you know if the 'eye' was hot, unless it was red-hot. I remember leaning over to see what was in the deep-pot and burning the crap outta my hand on a hot eye. Ma'cookin looked at me and said, "Quit yer squallin, and put some butter on it." It was tough to elicit any sympathy in our household for committing stupid mistakes.
