We cooked everything. We liked it; we did everything from fish to stews.
I just liked the idea of the [Royal Canadian] Navy. In our hometown of St. Albert [Alberta], there was a lot of going on about joining up and the only thing that we could join up at that point was the navy. So we went into the navy. We had cooking to do all day and then we’d have marching and that sort of thing and it was kind of a dull life. Because we were cooking for the girls mostly. And some of the boys. We cooked everything. We liked it; we did everything from fish to stews. It was just ordinary cooking.
