Mom was a vegetarian. Her spaghetti "gravy" was made with lots of different vegetables with lots of spices. It was always served over angel hair pasta. Ah, the memories...

Spaghetti & Meat Balls was my favorite. I can still smell the sauce simmering on the stove ALL day.

I'm with you Nonie. I use mayo on my salmon patties, too.

Guess I shouldn't have said anything about using ketchup since I love it and use a lot of it...just not on salmon patties. I dip grilled cheese sandwiches in ketchup and use it on my scrambled eggs...both of which many find odd.

To each our own...

Homemade vegatable soup

My Nana made the best. My mother learned to make it just like Nana.

They left out the lama beans because they knew I didn't like them.

Still love veggie soup in the dead of winter--with no lama beans!!!

My fav was Bobotie and mashed potatoes. Bobotie is a South African dish made with ground beef, onions, spices incoluding curry, lemon juice, chutney and...........apricot jam. Its baked in a meatloaf pan. Sounds wierd I know but its delicious. I still make it today and its my kids favorite now. And my youngest son (43) makes a better Bobotie than I do!

I'll be happy to. I'll post it on Tuesday when I get home. I am away from my cookbooks right now! It is yummy though and I love to share it.

I love meatloaf too, but not when it is served as a meal. It needs to be cold, sliced and as a sandwich with ketchup.

Fumar, sounds delightful; but from you I would have expected "Puppy Tails Soup". ;D

Sunday mornings in Brooklyn, after church we would go to the bakery and get the fresh Italian Bread, the braided one with seeds...

Grandma would have the meat balls frying for the sauce..She would take three meat balls and fry them extra crispy,also fry some onions and I would make a hero with the fried meatballs and onions..

OMG..My mouth is watering..

When I was a young lad. . . .

Most favorite: Pork chops and applesauce.
Second favorite: Meatloaf.

Now my tastes have changed and I haven't had either in a long time.

Now it is Sushi and very rare Tuna

Donna, that's my Dad's favorite too. I still have to make extra meatballs so he can make a hero out of them. We should do this one Sunday when we're all living in TV. My sister-in-law makes the best Italian bread, just like the bakery, if not better, so we need to invite her too. Can't wait.... what fun....
