Due back home tomorrow, GW, so I'll make something special for her
dinner. Got blueberries and nectarines, for maybe a tart.

Hm, what would be proper for somebody who doesn't want to see rain
or lightening for a while???? I think stromboli is out....

Some kind of comfort food? They'll be getting in after dark.

Alex, thinking maybe chicken and rice....

FWIW: followed the thread Victor offered elsewhere and found you

in the 1990's. You're one of the oldies.... and probably part of the

NO, No, No! A Schmear of Ranch (or that stuff we made before there
was Ranch), liberally sprinkled with sea salt and BP. Close, Om.

I'm positive that Campbell's Tomato Soup has undergone changes in its
formulation over the years. Many years back the consistency in the can was
so thick you practically had to dig it out. Now it pours out. It also seems
to be a bit less tomatoey and a little bit sweeter. I've also noticed that
some house brands are more like the "old" Campbell's.

I am also a great kipper snack (herring) fan, on saltines. Carried dozens
of tins. Got me out of the wilderness alive.

Funny, I grew up to 6'2" on bread and butter and milk. Mom dragged me to
the doc. Doc said "leave him alone, he's getting the right amount of
protein. I stand the tallest of the family in generations.

Nice one, Felice.
A sandwich from my childhood memories is a slice of white bread, buttered
and sprinkled with white refined sugar. Those were the days

Mmm... I love Liverwurst on toasted sourdough with LOTS of mayo! ;-d
What I miss most of all with this starch free diet is toasted sourdough
English Muffins. :-(

Oh gods no! Ranch is a bit too rich. It hides the natural sweetness of
the tomato imho. Ranch dressing I reserve for simple salads.

And yes, I love Mexican food. ;-d

I rarely purchase canned soups any more. Too easy to make, Tomato soup
can easily be made from canned tomato paste and it's less expensive that
way, and a LOT less salt and sugar.

About the only soup cheat I use regularly are Wylers cubes. That's a
diet cheat I use for a quick snack and I keep them in my locker at work.

Everything seems sweeter than it used to be, here in UK too I hadn't
eaten tomato ketchup for a long time but I keep it in because himself likes
it on bacon or sausages. I picked up one of his sandwiches one day by
mistake and I nearly threw up I can't tell if it was the change in my
taste buds, or the ketchup. But in general, things are sweeter.

Not me. Except for the tomato sauce that was heavy on tomato paste
and bay leaf, to the exclusion of much else, that was cooked not long
enough to kill its acidity, with meatballs made with saltines, which
I've now modified by using fat free saltines and OO, I am not
nostalgic about my much loved mother's cooking. I do dearly miss her
companionship, and she would have been such a fine grandmother to my
son.

I am glad you have good memories of her

Cinnamon... kinda surprises me, but it makes sense. LOL, I don't know if
I'll ever enjoy another butter-sugar sandwich, but if it will happen it will
be with cinnamon

Oh, a classic that would leave Bonoboans aghast today: refined white flour,
refined white sugar, and fat! It was a favorite quickie snack when I

Growing up in Louisiana, we ate Blue Plate mayonnaise, we also ate
Miracle Whip. I went on a low calorie diet after my first child was
born, I used Miracle Whip because it was lower in calories. Shhh...
don't tell anybody, but when I came home from the hospital I weighed 152
lbs. Egads, I thought I was too huge to be seen in public! lol

What a lovely story, Phil! And how great that today that sandwich still
"sort of tastes likes chicken"!

A fluffernutter! I never had one broiled. I might have to try that.
I also liked grilled cheddar and grape jelly sandwiches.

One of these days I will have to try that, I have only used marshmallow
fluff in recipes. I am not sure I ever had a "treat" sandwich. We ate
all kinds of things when I was a kid, some of them I still eat, some I
do not. We ate Spam, sardines and Vienna sausages, we also had deviled
ham and potted meat but not very often. We had olive loaf, ham, bologna,
salami, hog head cheese. My favorites, if I had to make a choice, were
probably chicken salad, tuna salad and pimento cheese.

My brother made sandwiches using white bread, with butter on one side

Thinking about old childhood favorites has brought back memories of a
couple sandwiches I ate regularly. Spaghettios on toast was pretty
good, kielbasa with mustard on squishy white Sunbeam bread (without
crusts) was even better.

Bologna was $.29 a lb, too expensive for us, so my mother bought a
look-alike called minced ham which was $.19 a pound, which I ate with
Miracle Whip on white bread.

I had my first peanut butter and jelly when I was an adult, not my
favorite. If I eat PB, it's on toast.

The pureed tomatoes is something I make all the time, using the big
cans of tomatoes. I have it on hand most of the time. It's great for
all sorts of sauces.

Did you ever make "cinnamon toast"? Mix a little cinnamon with some
sugar and sprinkle over buttered toast?

and peanut butter & dill pickles.

Or peanut butter and honey... the list goes on. Peanut butter is a

I remember a long thread here, years ago, where we all said that
Campbell's had changed its tomato soup. It was too sweet and then
someone mentioned that Campbell's started to use high fructose corn
syrup(HFCS) instead of sugar. (Much cheaper to use corn syrup as corn
is everywhere.) I believe we all a greed that HFCS was too sweet and
ruined the Tomato soup that we all used to like.
