Question of the day November 28th! "Good Times"

[IRescue452]

I have tons of good memories of corn roasts and family get togethers and baking holiday candies and cookies, but food is food and a memory is a memory. I'm partial to foods I like but can't connect many to childhood. I like catfish and cornbread but didn't ever eat catfish until college. I like grilled chicken sandwiches but not until about high school. I've always liked ice cream and still do. I don't turn to food for comfort. To me food is a necessity for living, a waste of my time, and its a pain in my pocketbook. The longer I go without food the better off I am. I do have least favorites. I hate Italian food and I hate watermelon.

I have the memories of homemade ice cream too. I was also the one to sit on it so the "big" kids could turn the crank. Then grandma got an electric one, but the ice cream wasn't as good.

My mom always makes pies for Easter and Thanksgiving (used to be Xmas too). So I always helped her make the fillings. I would stir the mix on the stove while she prepared the crust (homemade crusts). We made coconut, lemon and just an instant pudding chocolate pie. This year I missed out helping her with the pies. Since she is retired she made the crusts during the day before I got there. Then she made the coconut filling when I was doing something else (I don't even know what). She didn't make a lemon pie.

I guess mine would have to be carrot cake. It's always what I wanted for my birthday so mom would make it for me. The bestest cake ever! Besides what could be more fun than a birthday?!
