Show LK: ~Vhat kinds of foods did your mother prepare for you? YI: Oh •.. combination. Mornings she'd make biscuits. I remember her making biscuits and pancakes. Since we were raising chickens, we at a lot of chickens, some rabbits. Mix okasa they call it, mix sukiyaki you know. We call it okasa, but it's meat and vegetables put together, and kimino, ordinary Japanese food. We pretty much follow it today--the combination American. 38 LK: Did you own your home at that time, or did you rent it all? YI: We rented in Taylorsville, but we bought in Union. Then we moved out in '43. But up in Union. . when you graduate out of high school now, when I was growing up, then when I started high school, like I mentioned, I used to go to grower's market, and I was involved in sports. On the football team, Eddy Kimball was the coach. Good friends now, he's getting close to 90. And he said, you know Yuk, after we graduated and after ..• he said, you were the first Oriental that I coached, and I worried when you came out for the team. But he said, those days we used to drink out of a pint milk bottle. I don't know if you've seen t hose or not--the old pint milk bottles? LK : Mmmm Hmmm |
