According to the Government of Canada we are now out of the recession. Certainly the job boards are showing many more postings for part time and full time jobs. My mother, long passed, was born in 1924 and lived through the Great Depression. She could feed a family of 6 for very little. She once told me she sent my Dad to the butcher to buy 10 cents worth of liver for dinner. It made me think that a post recession Christmas dinner would be a blast. Layered jello (red and green), peanut brittle (one pound sugar, one pound butter, and a hand full of peanuts if we could afford it). Jello with coleslaw, mac and cheese (before cheese was expensive), popcorn.
We could augment the meal with Spam, bean salad, rice pudding, canned cocktail weenies. Any other ideas that could add to the festivities? I'll update you when my extended family responds to my post recession Christmas suggestion!
POST RECESSION CHRISTMAS?
