  1. Kraft dinner with tuna and mayo mixed in (the only way I would eat it)
  2. ketchup and bologna sandwhiches...on white bread, of course.
  3. Mini pizzas
  4. Wagon wheels
  5. My babysitters homemade chocolate chip cookies...her oven didn't cook them through, so the edges were crsipy, and the inside was just heated dough.  Heaven.

steak

sour punch straws, or war heads!

canada dry soda (or surge, does anyone remember that stuff?)

pistachio pudding pie

 

 OH I TOTALLY remember Surge! It came out when I was in middle school and I remember going on a youth trip and my friends and I each got like 2-3 cans out of the vending machine. We were SO hyper that night! LOL!

this is a funny thread for me. my mom is foreign so i never had bologne, grilled cheese, or mac in my entire life. i had my first pb&j last year!

- falafel.

- crepes w/ tons of fruit, usually strawberries and kiwis.

- nutella & ice cream.

- apfel kuchen or rhubarb kuchen w/ cinnamon & sugar.

- tuna & hummus sandwiches.

1. fried bologna on white bread (my fav!)

2. grilled cheese & bologna made with velveeta cheese

3. hot dogs w/mayo

4. fried potatoes

5. potato chips ("Bell" brand)

#1-5 all still sound good to me..wish I could still eat that way!

6. meatloaf w/ketchup on top, mashed potatoes & canned peas

#6 I remember because I hated this meal & spent many evenings alone at the table crying because my parents wouldn't let me get up until I ate some...& I couldn't get it down without gagging so I refused to eat it. I think it scarred me for life! LOL ;-)

 My grandmother only ever has cheerios, special k, or rice krispies. She never bought the good, fun cereal. She always cooked a southern breakfast- eggs, grits, and maybe sausage or bacon. In fact, I went to her house this past weekend and all she had were stale Cheerios and Rice Krispies. I guess I'm lucky she even had cereal seeing as how she never eats it!
