RE: Yup, I Was Raised on Government Cheese and Powdered Eggs!
I had a friend who's family received what we called, gov cheese. The rest of us were kind of jealous because it was great cheese! My hubby and I were just talking about this a couple of weeks ago. I thought I remembered it being called surplus cheese.
I enjoyed hearing about how your family moved/worked their way up. Your Mom was a good steward of the help she received and society as well as her family was rewarded.
We definitely never went hungry. There was always a huge block in the fridge. My family might be a group of misfits but they sure knew how to survive.
And that is the most important skill. :)
