Child's brought a smile to my face and Peretsky's had me thinking of other comfort foods starting with p: pie, peaches, and potatoes immediately came to mind. Now I'm craving peach pie!

Christine, ...Ahoy Heather, Rachel6 & Christine,<br />Christine, I'm with you on the molded salads. When Ellen & I got married, one of our gifts included a recipe box which included a recipe for a molded lime Jello salad with apples & salmon. Whoa. Heather, I grew up with margarine (or "oleo" as many called it), thinking butter was for the rich people across the tracks, but soon after I was the one deciding what to buy I just couldn't make myself buy margarine. Rachel6 -- love that memory!<br />CS Perryesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011651595792156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-22220730614023347142014-01-31T10:34:31.208-08:002014-01-31T10:34:31.208-08:00I like the molded salad quote.

I looked and looked and finally nudged my mom. "Where's the salad?" I asked. She pointed to the mold of green jello with carrot shavings and raisins floating in it. Yum. Salad. Thanks for the fun quotes!

When I was 8, butter was under a firestorm of attacks - "toss your butter dishes for margarine is king!" When I was 10, margarine because the enemy, butter was safe again, and they moved on to hating eggs. I can't keep up! Great quotes!heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893653648373189705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-9137896932415451072014-01-30T20:48:16.820-08:002014-01-30T20:48:16.820-08:00"Noodles are not only amusing, but delicious...."Noodles are not only amusing, but delicious." Oh my. Now I have this vivid memory of my cousins and siblings around the dinner table eating spaghetti. We were all between 8 and 14, and we'd just discovered "The Lion King." So all the littlest kids took turns holding up noodles, quoting, "Oh well, hakuna matata!" and slurping it down with as much pretended disgust as we could muster. <br />Pause.<br />Smack lips.<br />Slowly smile, ala Simba.<br />"Slimy...yet satisfying!"<br />And then we'd peal with laughter and run through the lines again, with more noodles.<br />Probably not what Mrs. Child was thinking, but hey :)Rachel6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138745237488029817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378530220174928746.post-71513330131706849922014-01-30T19:13:25.563-08:002014-01-30T19:13:25.563-08:00Hi Anne - thanks for coming by.

I had a friend who had a lot of anxiety when her Old New England family met her husband's immigrant Japanese family. But later she realized she had nothing to worry about. "Both cultures have elaborate tea ceremonies," she said. "They got along famously."Anne R. Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420000168356370825noreply@blogger.com
