I'd forgotten about the mixture .... that was damn fine eating
Also remember the days before OPEC and inflation, when prices didn't keep going up and up and ... well, you get the picture. Those were the days when my body could handle three squares a day plus a skinfull of Thwaites' best bitter, topped off with double pudding chips and peas. Now it's Lipitor and salad
