And Dad was an officer. Seemed at least one night of the last week of the month we got a real treat -- French Toast for dinner. I LOVED "breakfast for dinner" night! And I'm still always up for some LTS. Today, those canned spaghetti sauces are pretty good. But, I miss the way the house smelled when Mom got it started early in the morning. even the dog was going nuts by dinner time!

Yeah Dozer I remember those hard times also,the early 40's for me........My Dad was serving over in the Pacific an Mom had to work to make ends meet,Grandma was living with us also.......My Mom would make soup out of neck bones the butcher would give us..... She made her spaghetti using plain old tomato sauce like your Mom and it tasted great......
