[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3245519, member: 25679"] The shout could be heard throughout the neighborhood, "Johnny, come to supper." We didn't have to be told twice because we were active and hungry from burins off the earlier meal. It was usually pinto beans and cornbread because we couldn't afford anything else. Add a few onion slices and viola! A meal fit for an active kid. During the season, we have agreed beans we picked form the garden, I used to go into the garden and pick and eat the raw green beans, radishes and tomatoes. The radishes we'd wash off in our mouths and then eat the clean product. The sweets we'd have were fresh blackberries gathered from the nearby woods, covered with goat's milk and sweetened with little sugar. Never a coke or soft drink except once in a while at school for 5 cents-even nickels were rare. We were extremely poor to the point we should have been extinct-were it not for the pinto beans we would have been extinct. As it were, we just smelled "extinct" due to the effects of the pinto beans. [/QUOTE]
