Could be.

We were Roman Catholic.....big surprise there. So Friday we had to avoid meat.

Well, that was no big loss. We had an old GE refrigerator with the icebox thing in the top and a tray below it. No freezers then.

So she would put a piece of minute steak in the tray until it turned blue, then cook it until it turned black.

Friday we had to eat fish. Well, I do not recall what it was but I backed out of her fish dinners at an early age.

So we went Italian on Fridays. I think I was 23 years old before someone convinced me that going to an Italian restaurant did not mean that I had to eat macaroni and cheese.

I kid you not.

I married an Italian and gained at least twenty pounds eating spinach and stuff even though we were strapped for money those early years. Imagine gaining weight eating spinach? .....well, I did. Spinach Provencale was the big dish as I recall. I must have had that six times a week and I still prefer it to macaroni and cheese.

Funny though. Unlike most Micks I cannot handle that sweet stuff. Anything from bisquits to Ring-Dings turn my stomach. Have no idea why; you would think that would be the culture but I cannot handle that stuff.
