Heck yes I was a chubby kid.
A chubby kid who loved nothing more than a delicious Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie.
My grandmother always kept a couple of the frozen versions in her freezer for the special weekends I'd go stay with her
(my grandfather had passed, so Grandma lived through her kids and spoiled her grandkids rotten).
At 300+ calories a whack, there's no way in the world I'd eat one of those things now! But I can remember how deliciously salty and rich they were.
I also remember eating the whole damned thing.
Ahh, to be a kid again.
Come to find out, Don Callender, the son of ol' Miss Marie, passed away last week. I'm supposing it was under his leadership that his mother's pot pies were turned into take-home frozen conveniences. He was a "Food Entrepreneur." When I was six, I would have called him a genius.
