I eat a wider variety now, because I have access to a bigger variety. My dad was a logger and during the winter got unemployment, and in summer tried to catch up on the bills. We pretty much ate what the garden produced, and hillside salmon. Mom made all the bread, and pastries, everything from scratch. I learned to cook before I went to school and I cooked what my dad liked; meat, potatoes and bread. Not heavy on vegetables, until the garden came on. Mom always canned, and some of it was gross!! Like cauliflower. YUK!! I love cauliflower now, just lightly steamed, salt and pepper. We had fresh milk, as I've mentioned before. Once, it was a goat. Goat milk is.................different. But after awhile, I couldn't drink cow's milk. It was interesting growing up when and where I did. It's been 50 years since graduation, and the 59ers classmates are still close. There were only 12 of us, so that is an indication of the size of our town.
