My father was in the grocery business and my mother was a stay at home mom whose father was a baker. Boy was I lucky! I came home from school and almost always had a choice among several fresh home made cakes and pies for a snack. In grade school I came home to hot lunches. Every night we had a couple of different vegetables and a salad, all prepared from scratch. When other kids came over to eat many had never eaten (nor would they venture to do so) artichoke, avocado, asparagus, arugula and that was just the "a"s.
