QuoteDid the USAF have some sort of detachment at Ft.Campbell?
3 of them actually. I was at the 19th ASOS (Air Support Operations Squadron) and attached to several differen't Infantry BN's, 5th SF, and the 160th SOAR while I was there. Then you have the "Combat Weather" squadron and a small detachment of cargo loaders as well. There is no "MAC" anymore. That changed to AMC in the early 90's. No telling where your ride came from.

QuoteSo I'm not up to date on alphabet soup terminology.
I thought I was still up on it until I came to Iraq a year ago. Had to learn a whole new set of acronyms. Hell.......I still run across a new one that I have to look up in the intel reports occasionally.
I was down in Kirkuk a few months ago and was chatting up this HOTTIE med tech at the Air Force emergency room. She had only been in country about 10 days and she was confused as to who I was. Ya know......some guy with fairly long hair, goatee, civi clothes, and carrying a Glock. I told her "I'm PSD for USAID." She looked at me rather confused. Then when I explained that I take my client from point A to point B all over the country she said "You mean you guys drive around outside the gate?" Damn did I have a laugh over that.

Spaghetti sauce. No, not that Ragu filth or anything remotely resembling it. This sauce had beef, peppers of various colors and flavors, a variety of onions, and about a dozen secret spices. 
The first day after the sauce was cooked, it went into very deep dish pizzas. The second day was spaghetti. Any leftovers got cooked up with rice or any pasta from other dishes. Good good good.
Dad made some fantastic waffles occasionally. The story is told that one morning all us kids were seated around the table and Mom started to mix up some waffle batter. Dad was still in bed. As Mom plugs in the waffle iron my older brother asks "Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'm making waffles."
My other brother pipes up, "No! Dad does that!"
"Well, he usually does this, but today I'm doing it."
All six children shriek indignantly, "DAD DOES THAT!"
Mom stops and regards the mutiny. She walks into the bedroom, wakes up Dad, says "We have a problem."
So Dad made all the waffles from then on and peace was kept.

Quotelike a lot of greek familes, my dad wears the apron, but my mom's roasted chicken and potatoe's rule. Every sunday night, like clockwork (holidays aside), that is what was on the menu.
What? I thought for sure, being greek, you would say something like Pastitio, Spanikopita, baklava or Tiropita! I'm not Greek but my Husband is and I made sure I had all his Mother's prized recipes. It's funny that my sister-in-laws don't cook as many Greek dishes as I do! Don't forget the Holiday Greek Bread! Yummmmmy!

QuoteMMMMMMM.........TV Dinners
LOL...I've never served them a tv dinner!
I cook from recipes and use different meats and vegetables, but I try to prepare everything in 30 min or less. I won't stand there preparing a dish for 2 hours that they will scarf down in 10 minutes. They are fine with simple food too. Last week, my son begged me to make Tuna Helper!

Yummmm.
You make it the
way with sugar and cream and everything nice
I have to stick to what we have in the house---which is never cream, and frankly, I don't think we even have sugar

QuoteI have three, because I have had three mother figures in my life.
Would you believe neither of my mother figures cooks?
Or my aunts, or my step-aunts or my step-half aunts, etc.
But, I do have a grandma---a big ol' KY grandma who is probably one of the best cooks in the South. I just rarely get to visit and indulge myself

Ya know........I wanted to make a joke about it being a popular "West Virginia" food item........but I didn't want to be wrong. Since I am right it's even more funny now.
Oh nothing so refined as coon...
They love pickled pig's feet and souse meat [a dish made from pig's head, ears and feet in a gelatin base to hold it all together] Yummmmmy! What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy
ones? -- Monday.
