We only had white bread when I was a kid. We were really poor and I ate a lot of grape jelly sandwiches. Course, everyone else we knew were poor too. The economy was the pits in the 1930's. My mother died when I was 8 from mal nutrition and TB. Any kind of bread was good. war ended when I was 11 and it became another kind of world with a lot more variety in my diet. As I recall, Ice cream was my favorite food. High School, there was no hunger any more with folks we knew. Met my DH and after we married we ate lots of whole wheat items. Favorite then was Rye and favorite sandwich was grilled cheese made with raisin bread and kraft slices.

Today, I can only have 2 slices of any kind of bread or bakery items. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. Life gets curiouser than ever. Treat for Thanksgiving will be Persimmon Pudding, and I am a very rich lady. I have a wonderful dear husband of 61 years and a loving family of 1 son and 3 daughters. They provided us with 3 granddaughters and 5 grandsons. They all fell in love and married and the result is 3 great granddaughters 7 great grandsons. We have so much to be thankful for. Life is Good. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
