LOL!

This reminds me!

I never liked rice pudding ……. until I tasted Mrs. Bailey’s.

Heaven!

I bragged and bragged about it, finally my Mama phoned Mrs. Bailey (long distance) and asked for the recipe.

It was Swanson’s. It was made in large tins for restaurants. She was able to get it because she worked for Campbell’s Soup.

What a let down! But it was still Heaven!

Cute post! Wow–I wish I had your mom around to cook up funnel cakes when I wanted them!
Those fries look delicious!!! Yum … parmesan … I don’t think I could leave it at 1TB, though! : )
If only I could find the recipe for tater wedges from a childhood-era local convenient store…. SO tasty.

What a wonderful, funny story. I bet your mom rolled when she heard what your daughter said to you about the french fries! Lauras last blog post..Taste & Create: HoneyB's Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

I was a kid back in the day that "Fry Daddys" were popular. My mom would peel and slice potatoes and fry them up, salt them, and drain them on brown paper grocery bags. Those were the best things!! I could never wait for them to cool off before I was eating them! I'd love to have some of those now. Alisons last blog post..Another kind of nostalgia

I did the same thing with my mom once…I loved my friend’s mom’s lasagna even though it was all store bought and my mom’s was from scratch…

Fries look yummy!

I hope Jacob enjoyed his first week of first grade. It is so fun to see all the “old kindergartners” pass my room as they say “hi” and wave. Seems a bit surreal that they aren’t coming into my room.

Tater tots from Sonic were my thing. My mom would ask me what I wanted with dinner and I’d say “Tater Tots” only to have those baked nasty things.
Doesn’t it break your heart to think about the things you put your parents through? I seriously have a little lurch in my heart when I think about some of the horrid things I’m responsible for doing.

Mmmm…these look so simple and delicious. Yum!

I love how food can invoke such emotion and memories. My most awesome food memories are of my grandma in the kitchen.

That was seriously the best, best story ever. It's so great we can look back at ourselves and KNOW how horrible we were! Loved it. noble pigs last blog post..I Love Country People

What a funny story!! We always got to chose our birthday dinner, and I think every single one of us kids always chose chicken nuggets. Except our school lunches weren’t that great, so we loved mom’s home cookin’!

I’ll take these fries over McDonalds any day!

Payback… I know the feeling! Whenever I tell my mom about the kids doing this or that she’ll always reply that I was just like them! Those fries look fabulous, much better than McDonald’s, IMO!

Hey Kristen, cute post!

I think the age you are referring to is around 12-13… periods (no pun intended) of bratiness (did I spell that right?) seem to be synonymous with the onset of puberty. Wait, it’s 9 in the morning and I just wrote “puberty?” Must get more coffee!

I wanted to mention that I’m really liking your “a little bit of housekeeping…” bit at the end of your posts. Very handy, useful and an all-around great addition to your blog.

Another fun post… My elementary school cafeteria in Nice, France was awesome… It wasn’t kid food but no one seemed to care because everything was always dripping in excellent olive oil that we could sponge up with yummy bread.
These fries look wonderful…and I haven’t had any in a while…hmm time to change that.
