Wait...there was one more thing. What was it? Oh yeah, finnan haddie, some sort of smoked fish that was floating around in a cream sauce. It appeared on the table right about the time Moon Unit Zappa's seminal hit 'Valley Girl' came out, and is the dish with which my sister and I will forever associate the lyrics "It's like BARF ME OUT. Gag me with a spoon."

Thanks for the memories Mom.
Creamed chipped beef on toast (SOS) was one of the few things my father would cook for us. I quite liked it and found that Stouffers made it in boil-in-bag format for years. It tasted like what my father had made. Only one out four of my kids was converted, however. The rest left it to congeal on their plates.

Thanks for the FZ reference. That brings back memories for me. The man was a genius and IMO, one of the 5 best guitarists to ever play the instrument.
