kat8chaShare 5 food memories from your childhood. They can be your favorite memories, or your least favorite.
1) Croissants. Okay, so, I have this terribly sentimental memory of my first croissant. I used to get sick a lot as a kid (and by a lot I mean, you know, quite a bit) and would end up at home covered in a blanket while mom took care of me. I remember this one time, I have no idea how sick I was, I was curled up on a recliner with a blanket over me while Babes in Arms played on the TV. (Note, this is obviously when my love of Mickey Rooney also began.) Anyway, I remember mom bringing me a tray of tea, and a warm, flaky croissant. It just melted in my mouth, all sorts of deliciousness for a sick little girl.
2) Cherry Pie. So, my dad used to take as camping when we were younger right? For no reason I can explain, camping was pretty goddamn terrible after all. Anyway, when we went camping we would head for Pymatuning, PA. Now when we got there one of the first things we would do was stop at the supermarket and pick up camping supplies. This generally meant Chef Boyardee, milk, bread, cherry pie filling, and possibly some Bisquick. XD I seem to remember pancakes. Anyway, before ghost stories and after a hearty meal of chef boyardee (which I miss :( ) we would butter some wonder bread, slap it in the pie iron, and fill it up with cherry pie filling. And those wonderful cherry pie was cooked. TA DA!
3) Lunchables Pizza. So, my bf Clara used to get Lunchables for lunch at Canterbury. And I, of the home made sandwiches and lovingly made lunch, was jealous. I mean, srsly, what was cooler than lunchables. XD Luckily, Clara was amazing and didn't mind sharing. I remember quite a few lunch times where I would lick the lid of her chocolate pudding, or munch on one of her pizzas or lunchables burritos.
4) Rice Crispy Treats. So my family loves, loves, LOVES, Rice Crispy treats. They're like, the thing we NOM on. We can demolish a thing of rice crispy treats in no time at all. At all. When we would make rice crispy treats with Dad he would get out the BIG pot (which you need for making rice crispy treats anyway) and marshmallows, and a box of rice crispies, and a big wooden spoon. Then we'd all take turns stirring, b/c MAN was it HARD to stir. Anyway, after that we would scrape the rice crispy treats into the pan and press them down, and when that was done we would scrape the rest out of the pot and off the big wooden spoon.
5) Baloney Sandwich. ... okay, so, this is an absolutely terrible story. Basically, you know how you always think your Mom is like, OMNISCIENT? All knowing and all powerful? So this was the poitn where I realized Mom wasn't. Like, Mom could always tell when I was lying and such. That day we'd gone to the doctors, and I'd had a baloney sandwich in my lunch that I hadn't eaten before going to the doctor's. So, we went to the doctors, and came home, and mom inspected my lunch bag and found the sandwich still in there and she told me to >| EAT IT. But see, I didn't WANt to. I didn't WANT a baloney sandwich, but I didn't have a choice really. :\ So. Baloney Sandwich it was. Anyway, in the other room my sisters and my brother were watching Dinosuars (you know, with Earl Sinclaire?) and I wanted to WAAAAAAAAATCH. And Mom was like... doing dishes, or on the phone, or both, and i was like 'FINE' and ate the sandwich down, but mom wasn't paying attention, so I ran out to the living room b/c TELEVISION DARN IT. :( So anyway, mom turned around and was like 'WHERE IS SHE!' and I was like 'WATCHING TV' (with less shouting) and she was all 'let's interrogate my daughter about what she did with the sandwich'.
Me: I ate it!
Mom: >| WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?
Me: D: I ATE IT.
Mom: ~lecture about starving children in China~
Me: I AAAAAAAATE IT.
Mom: >|
So, smart little kid that I was I was like 'let's tell a lie, b/c Mom always knows when I'm lying, so if I lie, she's gonna know!'
Me: I fed it to the dog.
Mom: :\ Don't you feel better for telling the truth?
...yes. So, that's my baloney trauma. Kind of ridiculous that it's a baloney sandwich.
