How times have changed

The '70s are embedded in my brain thanks to the tunes of ABBA. The food was basic and as Amanda Blair points out ( Back To The future,

AWW, March), canned pineapple was considered exotic. Our family survived on a pre-World War II diet of meat and three veg. When I started home economics, I had the teachers in hysterics when I tried to cut raw spaghetti with a knife. My cooking never really took off. Thankfully, I have a husband and son who excel. J.
