Nope, I made that up the term "slops" in my teens when I would experiment, when still living at home with Mom. I made some really GREAT things. Some you had to eat quickly, or rather before it hardened :o) LOL! Long story, which I believe I already told, and it's in the archives ;o) I had Lynn's Slop #1, Lynn's Slop # 2, and so on. Wish I still had those recipes. When I lived in the one apartment complex, the cock roaches just nested in my Betty Crocker Recipe box, where I kept all my own recipes. That thing went directly to the dumpster, when I found this out, and most of mine and Lindsey's things went to the other folks in the building when we moved out_appliances, books, goose down coats, you name it, we donated it to them, because I didn't want to carry any eggs with me to the new apartment. I loved the apartment, but hated those horrible bugs. They would travel up from the apartment below, where the Threshold people lived. They were such sweet people, but had to be told to use water and soap when they took a shower, or did their wash, and cleaned. There was something missing in their person who was to be there to give them guidance, so I often would talk to them, explaining things, if we were in the laundry room, or sitting out on the stoop. Lindsey was just 1 1/2 years old, but made many a friend of these folks, and so did I. I often wondered how they were doing after we left there. :o) Lynn PS I couldn't call them stews, because many of them were TOO thick to be called that_Hmmm, maybe Goulashes :o) Richard Emlin Reed wrote: Well then, it was either Mulligan Stew or Goulash.

When I had kids, we called them CC's? (Connie's concoctions).? In the olden days, the food in the ice box was put together and made into soups.? I know we've talked of that before.?
