Oh and we NEVER had fresh vegetables or fruits in the house.

We never had salad.

My mom did not frequent the produce aisle, the deli, or the bakery section at the grocery store.

I didn’t know garlic came in any other form other than powdered in a jar.

I didn’t know there was a difference between real butter and margarine.

Ironically, both my grandfathers were avid gardeners. But mostly I remember them having loads of onions and fresh tomatoes in summer.
