By Brad Reed

Food that used to pass for supper

Sometimes I can't believe the food that I used to think of as supper back when I was single and childless. Some examples:  a bag of microwave popcorn, one or two bowls of cereal, a pie (it was a fruit pie), KD, and my absolute favorite Stove Top stuffing and a can of corn.
