Welcome once again to  Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 

Here are this week's questions

Where did your mother and father grow up?

My mum was born in Parkes and at the age of 4 when her mum left her dad she went to live with her maternal grandmother in the small town of Byabarra in New South Wales with a population in the hundreds she lived with her till she was 14.

My dad was born in Kurri Kurri and lived with his parents till he was 8yrs old when his mother dropped him off with his aunt & uncle during school holidays and ran off with another man. He was then raised by his dad and his aunt and uncle.

Where did you grow up?

I was born in Newcastle New South Wales and lived in different suburbs of Newcastle all my life.

What was your favorite meal your mother made? What is your favorite recipe to make?

Mum made a lot of wonderful meals can’t think of a favourite

When my girls were little, I made what they called my noodle mince stew, just mincemeat, some frozen veggies a tin of potatoes and a packet of 2-minute noodles all cooked an electric frypan.

What are the advantages you enjoy where you live?  

I live close to Lake Macquarie and the suburb has everything within walking distance from my home but doesn’t feel crowded.
