WHEN 'IN A HURRY', PREPARING A QUICK B'FAST FOR US......WITH MINUTES TO SPARE BEFORE THE SCHOOL BELL RANG.......MY FATHER OPENED A GLASS JAR OF 'CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF', HEATED IT.....UNOPENED....IN A PAN OF BOILING WATER; THEN, SPREAD IT ATOP SOME TOASTERED TIP-TOP OR MERITA 'WHITE BREAD.......   THIS MORNING, I PERFORMED HIS 'TOAST TASK' WITH MICROWAVED STOUFFER'S 'CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF'......IMPROVED FROM ITS 'BOIL OR MICROWAVE IN A BAG' DAYS, AND ENHANCED WITH SOME COARSE-GROUND BLACK PEPPER....AND CRUNCHY SOURDOUGH TOAST.....AN EXAMPLE OF A MEAL THAT IS 'BETTER NOW' THAN IT WAS...OVER A HALF CENTURY AGO.....AND FAR LESS SALTY!
