We had the same kind of meals, easy to throw together and we thought it was great. I also learned at an early age to thrown something together for my sister and myself.

I know when I was growing up in the 70's hardly anyone had a mum who worked. I love the sound of your nanny in a uniform! I have never heard of hamburger pie but I can imagine your mother must have needed to take a lot of shortcuts to get dinner on the table for you all - she must have been a very hard worker! xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863830173943577763.post-76584429798746955822012-06-01T16:55:29.501-05:002012-06-01T16:55:29.501-05:00The world is definitely getting smaller!
