What time does the ballgame start? I love porky beans. 🐷❣ I had light ranch today too. I hadn't realized it was light until today and I've been logging as regular. 🙄 I'm gonna go check to see if I have some baked beans in the cupboard. 😋😋😋 

Also, I'm very impressed with your mustard swiggle! 😁 

LOL, it reminded me of picnic food, minus the sand. 😄 i wish you lived closer. My roommate's parents are moving at the end of the month and his mom sent me a bunch of canned goods. I am gonna be eating baked beans! 

Maybe you can find some of those 1960 recipes that use canned food. You like plopping a cup of cottage cheese on a plate with a can of pineapple rings on top and calling it dessert. 😁 

LOL, someone once sent me a link to a bunch of old jello salad recipes from the 50s and 60s... YIKES. She sent like 6 cans of corn, and neither of us like it. I am putting together stuff for the food shelf anyway so I will add them. 

I wish I lived by you too. I like canned corn! 🙋‍♀️. You can do alot with canned corn. 😊 

Some of those jello salads where so good. I just found an old Tupperware jello mold thr other day that belonged to my mother.  

Ooooh! Make something in it and post pix! 

But no shrimp or horseradish! 

Jen, you're no fun! 😉 Okay here is my awful jello salad story. When the kids were young we lived on my in-laws property with a few other family members. There were 4 households all together, all relatives. There were 12 kids all together and every Halloween we would dress our kids up and the cousins would celebrate with an outdoor meal and some games. My mother-in-law , one other sister-in-law (the other was a flake and never contributed) and myself would make an orange Halloween meal. Everything was orange, but what young kids liked to eat. Well, almost everything. My MIL, who was thee best cook, would make a jello salad every year. She would use orange flavored jello, but add shredded carrot to it. The kids hated it. Heck, the adults hated it, all except my MIL. She would always tell the kids to eat it, it was good for them, but they never did. Every Halloween she would put out that horriblr carrot jello salad and every year it sat there uneaten. 🧡🚫 

That blue-plate special looks great for late-night snacking. Celery is good for the stomach. :) 

I would luv to try some carrot-jello. :-P 

Ha, funny. I bet your kids all still remember that jello carrot salad! BTW, what a great way to grow up, having their siblings and cousins to hang out with. 

Yes, they have some great memories living on The Lot. 🏡 

Hmmm...late night...do you eat enough protein each day, especially at dinner? 

I thought we were tailgating!! I love your jello salad story! I am 65 trust me I remember years of screwy recipes from food manufacturers. Ritz used to boast a mock apple pie! Like anyone would go out of their way to make a pie full of Ritz crackers when they could just use apples? Are these people demented? 

Ha ha, sure, I remember the Ritz mock apple pie! So many food manufacturer recipes, you are right! Since I have been living with my roommate i discovered I am a little snobby about food. He and his family actually prefer some of those kinds of foods to the real thing or a homemade version. I have been slowly chipping away at him though, lol. HCB, I am not even hungry. It is more like a nervous habit and my inability to just "sit with it." I go for pretzels and peanuts and chips.  

roll that beautiful bean footage. 😝😝
