Thank you for responding to me! Not o...Hi Billy... Thank you for responding to me! Not often that I can get a response from anyone.. pro OR con!<br />I can appreciate your feelings after what you and your family went through.. those times were horrible.. just as these times are horrible. I can remember my grandmother telling me, back in 1950, that she was glad she was as old as she was, because the world had become such a horrible place. She said she felt sorry for me, having to grow up in terrible times. Funny... I was 14 then... and my growing up times weren't terrible at all.. to me. Now, I look at my great grandchildren (28 of them) and feel sorry that they are growing up in such a terrible world. ALL is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?<br />I spent my first 6 years on Catalina Island.. my dad and mom owned a flower shop. The made leis to sell when the big ocean liners docked there twice a week. When Dec. 7, 1941 happened, we had tarpaper over the windows for the next 6 weeks, waiting for the navy to take over the island. My parents declared bankruptcy after the government took everything over... everyone lost their houses and businesses. We moved in with my great grandmother in Los Angeles.. we were the only white family in a black/Asian neithborhood. (My great grandmother had moved there 30 years before, and stayed when all the white folks moved out). Anyway, I started school (there was one other white boy in the school). I never learned to dislike any of my new friends.. they came to my house, I went to theirs.. I particularly liked to go to the neighbors across the street where where there were 9 children.. they were Mexican, and I learned to like tacos, etc when there. Then, the black family had food different than we did too, and I always wanted to eat with the neighbors. In my house, we ate a lot of salads, soups, and pot roast on Sunday. ;-)<br />Anyway, we finally moved, and I ended up in an all white neighborhood. When I was in the 9th grade, we had a Japanese exchange student come over who was a football player. I really liked him.. Kenny Matsuda.. a neat guy. I guess being raised on the West coast may have made a difference .. if I had been raised in the South or the East, I might have been instilled with different values. As it was, I was more involved with movies and movie stars, as one of my cousins went into the movies (her stage name was Loretta Young) and her sister was an exotic dancer. Another one of her sisters married a South American guy (Ricardo Montalban) Our family was ok with that, because she had been dating one of the dead end kids from the movies ad they sent her to South America on vacation to get her away from him, where she met Ricardo. <br />All the women in my family were great cooks.. they were always sharing recipes, and coming up with different ideas for family get togethers. I guess I inherited the love of cooking, hence my attraction to the 99 cent chef.<br />As far as politics go.. my family were all democrats up until Roosevelt died.. I don't remember much about politics after that.. was too busy with my life.. then later on I got ivolved during the Kennedy election. I liked Obama at first, then didn't like the things he did, and never did like Hillary... so we can agree to disagree on that point. Personally, I think they should put those 535 politicians in D.C. on a 2 year term limit, and make their retirement be 50% of their salary, and make them pay for all of their own stuff... just like the rest of us. This is what makes the world go 'round... diversity! Diversity in everything.. including recipes..I'll have to watch your Mom's cooking videos! <br />Take care,<br />Sandy<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751212916939358889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-57738196448299351632016-10-03T08:07:41.924-07:002016-10-03T08:07:41.924-07:00Hi Sandy, glad you get a kick out of my recipes. I...Hi Sandy, glad you get a kick out of my recipes. It's seldom that I combine politics with food, but sometimes it's fun to just go for it, especially now, with such entertaining candidates (and so much on the line.)<br /><br />I'm glad the '50's were a great time for you holding great memories. Unfortunately, if you were black, a minority, or homosexual, those "good old days" may not have been that good. I lived in the South (Texas and Louisiana) during the 1960's, were our small town movie house had a "Negroes only" balcony; some water fountains were "whites only;" and on the first day of school, our local junior high driveway entrance was filled with white adults picketing black school children on the bus I was in, the first day of forced integration because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.<br /><br />And my mother wasn't allowed to go to college (after qualifying for a scholarship) because her parents thought higher education was not suitable for women.<br /><br />I guess we had a taste of our own Western-style Sharia laws of lynching and homosexual persecution back in the good old days. As for Jihad, it's another brand of religious hate that will eventually fail. Democracy will always be tested, it's up to each of us to recognize bigots like Trump, offering naive quick fixes.<br /><br />Every generation must strive to make our society more equal for all. Trump embodies the worst aspects of the 1950's with his condescending and degrading comments about women, hate speech directed at Mexicans, and rolling back of gay marriage rights.<br /><br />And especially galling is Trump's (and Republican's) disrespectful treatment of our first Black President. How do you think this looks to our neighbors impressionable black children? What kind of example are we setting?<br /><br />Four years ago, my wife and I had a viewing party on Obama's inauguration day, and some of our black neighbors were gracious enough to come over (I made a delish breakfast frittata for all.) I'll never forget the tears streaming down their faces as Obama was sworn in. I'm sure the same proud feelings from many women, young and old alike, will be there as Hillary breaks through the ultimate glass ceiling. Liberal Democrats are leading the inclusive way.<br /><br />Trump is the least qualified Presidential candidate to ever run - I had to take sides in this election, even in my silly food blog. And if all goes well, chauvinist Trump will have a comeuppance November 8th, defeated by a feminist Presidential candidate.<br /><br />By the way Sandy, I don't know if you have seen my Mom in action in some of my cooking videos, she turns 82 in November, and is voting for Hillary! We live in a great society were a brilliant Black man and a liberated, capable, and hard working woman are Presidential, too bad about half our country refuses to acknowledge it. 99 Cent Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242769458572502316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-52410525066800501952016-09-25T11:43:24.102-07:002016-09-25T11:43:24.102-07:00Love your recipes, Billy... don't care what yo...Love your recipes, Billy... don't care what you call them. As far as politics are concerned, I don't incorporate them into my cooking. A lot of my recipes have been passed down from my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. As I am 80 years old now, my family recipes are quite dated (as am I) and I like new ideas. You supply quite a few new ideas for cooking, and I like them. As for politics, it is YOUR world now.. One that you and our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be living in long after I am gone. I have no hate for anyone... am beyond that. My time growing up was in the 50's - so glad I was part of that era! God things can't last forever tho.. so whichever way the world chooses to go (looks like they will be choosing One World Order with the libs in power), I hope everyone will either celebrate that, or not suffer too much when the Jihad comes.. Like I said, I just continue to collect recipes because I enjoy cooking so much. Cheers, and keep those good recipes coming! ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751212916939358889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-57548004208750690972016-09-25T11:13:41.134-07:002016-09-25T11:13:41.134-07:00Well, Sandy my dear, no need to pray for me, just ...Well, Sandy my dear, no need to pray for me, just pray for yourself that the fog of conspiracy theories, paranoia and hate that you are lost in will clear one day - best to stay away from Fox "fake" News and other conservative hate websites, for your own peace of mind.<br /><br />If you disliked my political tinged post then please don't read my recipe for "Tea Party Chicken Soup," where I throw my weight behind Obamacare -- your head may explode ;-p<br />http://the99centchef.blogspot.com/2011/01/tea-party-chicken-soup.html99 Cent Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242769458572502316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-43903108063833993852016-09-21T11:21:36.827-07:002016-09-21T11:21:36.827-07:00hey B-School Smuck, you the fool.
