Food Memory

[magenta_girl]

I love food. I read cookbooks for fun, look up restaurant menus online, and take great pleasure in preparing food for my family. I remember discontinued products, like Kellogg's Concentrate, with a wistfulness that I'm not sure is normal after the 30+ years since I last ate them. I look forward to my next trip to Paris because of ice cream from

That clam pie sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

I went to look up Kellogg's Concentrate and found a facebook fan page - apparently there's a lot of people who are nostalgic.

Hey now, I love Lucky Charms :p

I'm glad my mom was never one to make us clean our plates. As long as we ate, she was very accommodating!

I was a little picky as a child but we were allowed no exceptions to finishing our plates..and we didn't get to choose what was on our plates.

I spent many hours staring at my plate, not able to make myself eat it.

But I was "punished" as my mom used to say, "May you one day have a picky child." My girls eat almost everything but my son is much, much pickier than I was.

I'm glad the room is redecorated now!

Dad did most of the cooking in my household.

He never had any unmitigated disasters, thank goodness, and sometimes he came up with some absolutely delicious concoctions... but I was never a fan of his tuna casserole. But then again, I've yet to find any variety of tuna casserole that I enjoy, so that's not really his fault.

A very nice piece.
