I forgot about cereal! And huge amounts of lasagna. I miss those days too sometimes, despite the PTSD they brought. But having girls would have sent me to an early grave!

Isn’t it amazing you lived through those years. And aren’t the boys fortunate to have you and Chris guiding them, and feeding them! I love your ferociousness and your recipes. ❤️💋

Yes! I agree, feed them to tame them. I would make 6 pound of potato salad, 2 pounds of spaghetti w sauce, cake and cooked galore. All gone in a swift afternoon. Cheep cereal and 5 gallons if milk a week were normal. Then they would play in the back yard.... soccer, flag football, rugby etc. i actually miss those days and the energy it always had. They hang around if there is food.

Great story! And to think I’ve been in that basement, but all the wonderful remained upstairs!👍🍷
