1983 was my first year of high school. I was 13. I can remember that my mom, newly single after my dad died in 1981, struggled to feed six kids and would make nearly everything from scratch. She also taught us all to cook, and we'd have one day a week when it was our responsibility to make dinner. Mom was a very good cook, but she'd resort to shortcuts on occasion. When Mom was in a hurry she'd feed us Top Ramen with diced Spam and peas. (It was not my favorite meal.)

So, I put on my big girl clothes (high heals that they called pumps) and went into Manhattan and got a job. That computer you showed is what I worked on. But, my office did not have internet yet. We worked with a program my company installed. Thanks so much for the memories, lol. It was a crazy time and a bunch of fun.

Our meals were beef heavy in the 80s. Mom said it’s because they bought a 1/2 cow to save money. We ate a lot of burgers, spaghetti, chili, something she called Johnny marzetti, something else called shipwreck (might’ve been the same thing as Spanish noodles?) and the occasional lasagna for holidays. Oh- and meatloaf. I never had Swedish meatballs until IKEA came around in the 2000s. I loved having dinner at my grandmas because she always served something that was not beef. 😂
