Dad cooked on the grill and did the fish in the deep fryer. When we had trout Mom cooked it in a pan. Mom cooked all the other times unless she was out of town and Dad cooked dinners just like Mom made. We very very rarely went out to eat.

Most of the time growing up we kept our freezer full of crappie and sand bass, and we kept it stocked with sides of beef from an uncle's farm. The only things we got at the grocery were chickens and pork. Ham was fancy and rarely got that. Sandwich meat was baloney, left over chicken, or tuna and egg salad. Oh yeah, and bacon & tomato.

Always had a big garden and fruit trees. So lots of fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and veggies. Also had some wooden crates in the garage that was our root cellar.
