We'd come in after a 3 day exercise and wipe out the milk and ice cream in the chow hall.<br /><br />Never underestimate the amount of food a gang of hungry 18-21 year olds can put away, especially if 95% of them are male.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-80905123918790575822013-09-30T12:43:16.863-07:002013-09-30T12:43:16.863-07:00It was always a joy to cook for the men of the fam...It was always a joy to cook for the men of the family who had been to war (and gone through the depression) as they appreciated their food so much. I can still see my grandfather devour a whole jar of chutney imported from India in one sitting (he hadn't had any since he was a young man, as you just couldn't buy it where we lived) or his plate overflowing with a huge properly aged steak and mountains of potato, carrot and cabbage. For my father, it was thick cut fried baloney and spanish onion sandwiches (yecch) or vine ripened beefsteak tomatos.

I remember scout camp, which I remember as serving pretty good food, being one of the few female leaders. however, the young men did make extensive lists of large amounts of food they were going to eat when they got home. For some it was fast food, for some it was that mom would have missed them so much she would have cooked them everything and have it waiting at the door.<br />now, since some of these young men had dared each other how long they could go without ever removing their class A's (mine included), I'm pretty sure the first thing that happened after the hug was a bath (with tomato sauce, like a skunked dog).<br />skubitwoSkubitwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007540986386440850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-7987163333591968052013-09-29T14:51:18.081-07:002013-09-29T14:51:18.081-07:00I'm pretty sure he was indulging in some wishf...I'm pretty sure he was indulging in some wishful thinking.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-31194411624894357092013-09-29T14:23:14.225-07:002013-09-29T14:23:14.225-07:00Eh??
