It was becoming less and less I could do on my computer; then I knew I needed to make a change. Good luck.

I don't seem to have connection problems as much as I have working with anything Google related, like this blog, while using Explorer. Having to learn a whole new Windows with the new computer hasn't helped much. Probably some operator error involved as well. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-83925614121670442752015-04-27T16:13:41.271-05:002015-04-27T16:13:41.271-05:00Saturday you were talking about having trouble wit...Saturday you were talking about having trouble with your internet. I had all kind of problems too. Internet explorer is going out. I tried Chrome 2 or 3 times and some others until I got Firefox. All my problems gone.

Mother's tastes in food ran pretty much along the same lines as yours. I think because Dad grew up so poor, these wonderful things in cans and jars just fascinated him, for there were never store bought treats when he was young. Dad was a quiet man. I never heard him raise his voice in anger and I never heard my parents fight. But sometimes I think that part of the reason he brought home some of these foods? was just to get a reaction out of Mom. And he did. Which is why Dad and I ate pickled pit's feet on the back porch and not at the kitchen table. <br /><br />I loved him more than my life.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-25562961434709777472015-04-27T09:26:31.115-05:002015-04-27T09:26:31.115-05:00I guess I am one of those strange individuals that...I guess I am one of those strange individuals that does not care for any of the food you mentioned plus many others. This is not to say that if I was starving I wouldn't eat them. I have a choice now to not eat them. My hubby on the other hand like you grew up eating these types of food and still loves a fried spam sandwich or fried bologna sandwich. Pickled eggs, hot dogs etc. I would much rather have something good for me than this! To each his/her own....I love the memories tho' sounds like you were close with your daddy and it comes out in your writings. Here's to your daddy who didn't fear the new things in life!M.E.

But I do believe that if he had showed up with a can of pig brains, Mother wouldn't have let either of them in the house. She wasn't overjoyed about the pig feet.

But Oh My, it sure was fun. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-69894609156103079992015-04-26T20:31:32.219-05:002015-04-26T20:31:32.219-05:00Your dad was a man after my own heart.

One item I haven't seen in years and I believe they were put out by Hormel was pig brains in gravy.

They say a person will eat most anything if they are hungry enough. I've been hungry, but never when a can of sardines was within reach. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-10853204757128546132015-04-26T18:55:23.070-05:002015-04-26T18:55:23.070-05:00I suspect Armour was the brand of potted meat your...I suspect Armour was the brand of potted meat your dad bought, as it seemed to be the most available.

Potted meat (Armour IS the best) is a great food storage item. I like the mayo and sweet pickle thing.
