Ok. You've made it. You have a job, a spouse, maybe kids, and plenty of bills. Maybe you're 20 or 45. This is your world. So, why did all this happen? You had parents, now in the distant background. They helped, probably more than you know. They gave you principles and backbone. So here is my advice: Send them a note with just two words, thank you .  You don't have to tell them what you mean.

You know it contains meat, bread crumbs, and other ingredients such as onions, spices, maybe an egg, etc. Dad's shortcut: A. You need a pound of ground meat like hamburger or pork.
