Damn. I forgot about Crisco cookies.*
✏️ weiner sleeve
 Previous Message before Christmas a few years back. My old lady had never seen Crisco, never even heard of it. When my mom busted it out and my wife saw it I thought she was gonna faint. She did that Jim Carrey face from Dumb and Dumber. I'm not gonna blame anyone for it, that was what the supply chain was. The food conglomerates were all grown out of WWI and WWII government contracts and they had the scale to push product. As bad as it was it was a substantial improvement to roach and mouse infested cracker barrels being sent to general stores that predated it. But it's very easy to forget things like that when waxing poetic about a simpler life. Previous Message
Almost no fast foods. Not like today, anyway. Relatively few heavily processed, prepared foods. But unless you had your own garden or lived near farms with produce stands, good luck reliably getting your hands on a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the entire year.
Mom use to fry chicken in Crisco. Stil remember that canister of heart attack sitting in the cupboard beneath the sink.
