Cathie | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 10:39 am     My favorite breakfast at the moment is a piece of 7 grain toast spread with 1T of whipped peanut butter (less calories than regular pb) topped with nine circle slices of banana. My dog loves it, too, because he gets the rest of the banana (with his daily pills poked in it.) |
Sanfranjoshfan | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 11:08 am     The posts about breakfast reminded me of something I haven't thought of in years. I remember having steamed white rice prepared like oatmeal! It was put in a bowl and then , we added a pat of butter, some milk and some sugar at the table....just like we did with oatmeal or Malt-O-Meal. I had totally forgotten about that for *decades*!...but now I find myself wanting to have some! (Oh yeah....we used to get bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top, too. Another favorite was a cup with some peanut butter and Kayro syrup thoroughly mixed together. These were some of the ways we kids were placated when we were whining for sweets. We lived on a farm, 5 miles from town so there was no corner store to run to when cravings arose!) |
Chai | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 11:22 am     Once in while I like to eat uncooked Ramen noodles, without the flavor packet. They're nice and crunchy! (I'm hoping that at least one other person owns up to this! I don't want to feel that bizzare! LOL!) |
Jasper | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 11:27 am     My mom used to sprinkle sugar on reheated rice and pour milk on it. A quick version of rice pudding I guess. How about brown sugar sandwiches, yum those were good! And cinnamon mixed with sugar sprinkle on toast. I too eat raw pasta, usually broad egg noodles or spaghetti. But then again I used eat raw weiners when I was a kid. |
Babyruth | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 11:45 am     I love cold Boston Baked Bean sandwiches (preferably on a whole wheat bun)with just a little pickle relish and a little ketchup mixed in. |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 03:53 pm     Sanfranjoshfan, I also ate the wht rice, butter, sugar, milk thing & peanut butter mixed w/karo as a child. I grew up in the country in OK. We sure didn't starve, but some of the things we ate were pretty weird. How about potatoe chip & mayo sandwiches. Potato chips dipped in ketsup (frie want-a-bes was what we called it). Dill pickle juice snow cones was another treat. I still love pickled watermelon rind. As a child, I also consumed some Purena dog chow or chicken feed cookies that I would bake in the sun myself. Ugh! |
Myjohnhenry | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 04:24 pm     I don't consider white rice, milk and sugar weird. The conversations about cottage cheese reminded me of the time my manager at Chuck E Cheese got me hooked on cottage cheese, thousand island dressing and bacon bits. Yum. Haven't had it in ages, but I bet I will think about it now the next time I am at a salad bar. I like to dip movie theater butter popcorn in hot fudge sauce. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 04:30 pm     Cook a hotdog, split it in half. Layer on top of it Velveeta, then mashed potatoes, then more Velveeta and throw it in the oven til the cheese melts. OMG, great stuff but my arteries are slamming shut just talking about it. This is what I call "farm food." Rib-sticking and tasty (ps I pretty much hate hotdogs, otherwise). |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 04:31 pm     I don't consider the wht rice dish or p/b & karo wierd either - as a matter of fact, now that I've remembered, I will prob. eat them again. It's the other things I mentioned. The cookies are actually embarrasing! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 11:34 pm     All this talk about food is making me crave a dish a friend of the family used to make....but I have not seen it since the early 60's! She used to make what she called "puddin' cake". She had some recipe that was somehow part cake and part pudding. It would go into the oven like a regular cake, but when it came out, the cake part would have risen and been like a regular cake....but it would be sitting in a puddle of this chocolate sauce stuff. It was always chocolate and it was always delicious! Okay that wasn't weird per se, but now I want some! Texasdeb - I am from Texas and not too far from Oklahoma! Both PB & syrup and rice-with-sugar-milk-&butter must be some kind of southern thing! |
Draheid | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 05:41 am     Sanfran: I not so sure it's a 'southern' thing since I was born & raised in CA and remember enjoying both PB & Syrup and Rice w/sugar-milk-butter from when I was a kid. Although I recall using mapel syrup and serving it on saltine crackers or bread.  |
Denecee | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 08:43 am     I used to eat ketchup & mustard toast. I was pregnant at the time. Some people consider fried chicken gizzards & liver wierd but I love them. I used to eat that chicken oyster looking thing that is on a chicken thigh but it grosses me out now. This isn't wierd but very good, apple dipped in peanut butter(wanted to share that in case somebody hasn't tried it). |
Jasper | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 09:24 am     sanfranjoshfan - Shiriff makes those. It's a mix they have chocolate, caramel or rum butter (?) they're cheap too. You mix the batter spread it out sprinkle this other stuff on it pour on water bake and voila cake on the top lots of sauce on the bottom. |
Sweetbabygirl | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 09:55 am     I like mustard on my mother's porkchops....I also slather the mustard (sometimes syrup) whenever she makes liver. |
Cathie | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 11:13 am     Sanfran, I saw a recipe for a cake like that a couple of days ago. It uses the kind of pudding you cook (i.e. not instant) and sounds just like what you describe. Now I will have to try to remember WHERE I saw the recipe, lol. I will have to admit to one thing I liked as a kid--fried Spam sandwiches, sliced thin with white bread and lots of Miracle Whip. I couldn't touch cold (or as we referred to it, "raw", lol) Spam, but loved it fried. |
Cathie | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 11:18 am     I never mixed PB with Karo but we did mix it with a mashed banana and grape jelly. I could have lived on those sandwiches! Hmmm...wonder what that mixture combined with fried Spam would taste like? |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 11:23 am     oh no, no miracle whip in this house!! but i loved fried spam sandwiches with mustard. that's why i love nathan's hot dogs, as a matter-of-fact: they taste a little like crisp-fried spam! i can still taste peanut butter open-faced sandwiches washed down with pink lemonade... |
Cathie | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 11:27 am     We're a no-mayo house, Tabby! I can take either but hubby can't stand mayo. |
Conejo | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 11:31 am     When I was growing up down south everyone always made 'Red-Eye' gravy. All you do is take the grease drippings left from cooking breakfast (ham, bacon, sausage) heat them up in an iron skillet and stir in some coffee. Then you take this coffee and grease mixture and pour it over your homemade biscuits. Yummy! |
Cathie | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 01:34 pm     I've always heard of red eye gravy with ham but I never knew it had coffee in it! |
Readonly | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 01:36 pm     I'm glad I'm not the only Spam eater. A fried Spam sandwich would taste deeeeelicious right now. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 03:45 pm     I too am a spam eater. Ever try making ham (spam) salad. I make it just like tuna or chicken salad. It's really good in a sandwich or on crackers. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 05:16 pm     i don't eat mayo, either, but i can tolerate it in a macaroni or potato salad (i mix it half and half with nonfat sour cream and it has to barely coat the stuff--i don't want to see a glop of it!), but miracle whip tastes like sugar to me. i don't even put sugar in my coffee. i am more a mustard person and never put mayo on a sandwich. i don't even like mayo to mix my tuna! before i got married to someone who likes mayo, i don't think i ever had a jar in the house in all my adult years! i can barely make his lunch if he wants extra mayo. it makes me gag! i told him to buy a jar and keep it at work and add it himself later! |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 05:19 pm     and remember that awful stuff called 'sandwich spread'? it was like miracle whip and relish or something...my husband's aunt used to make her husband sandwiches with that and nothing else on them. shudder!! |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 05:46 pm     I remember liking that "sandwich spread" (kind of a thousand island like taste). Used to eat it on my "raw" spam sandwiches. Also, used to make a lazy tuna salad with it - just tuna & that s/w spread. I don't like real mayo but do like mir. whip lt. Only never on a hamburger - mustard/ketsup all the way. |
