Survival Food STAPLES

Funny that there seemed to be an endless supply of corn tortillas and cheese. I think that I became an expert at frying them up like chips by the time that I was eight. Homemade Nachos were almost a daily occurance. La Fiesta was a favorite resturant and I used to try so hard to make my chips taste just like theirs. The perfect amount of crisp and salt. For some reason I remember those giant bags of carob chips. Zingers were great right out of the deep freezer but they weren't there more than a few days after mom made her weekly shopping trip. I remember groceries costing almost $300.00 It is a good thing that Dad was always a good provider! One of my favorite meals growing up was potatoe soup and BLT's. That plate would be spilling over with BLT's and moments after the prayer empty. One thing that is universal to Reids is we know how to consume good food! -Natalie
