Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I want!!!! I WANT!!! Czesia's HANGRY! lol! I hope you can taste again soon :( that must really suck.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. I wish I had taken a picture of the fabulous dinner I had tonight to celebrate our anniversary....broiled halbiut and prawns over mashed potatoes and steamed veggies...with a light butter lemon sauce...omg. sooo good! Then i ate part of franks hot fudge sundae....sigh . Such a good day! Lol
ReplyDeleteMy breakfasts are boring, same old same old, and my lunches are usually leftovers. Last night's dinner was a 3 oz pork loin chop, baked, half a small butternut squash from last fall's garden and steamed asparagus. Sure looked pretty, and tasted good, too. Notice I carefully left out the two pats of butter, one for each vegetable. I'm sneaky that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm an "oil" girl too--every time I see that commercial about the oil vs. cream, I want to yell at the TV that Cool Whip is awesome! ;)
ReplyDelete"I bet that tasted good." Hehehe... you poor thing! This food looks SO GOOD! I loved the rice, chicken, vegetables dish with your standard lunch. Great picture, too. I always love your lunches. I'm going to try the tuna tacos soon. Not a chili gal here, but, boy you sure made a container of pudding with whipped topping beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, and keep rocking the oatmeal !! You *know* I'm a fan. I do vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, then slivered almonds and a diced fruit.
ReplyDeleteHappy Aloha Friday to you!! Sorry about the airline hassles - always a nightmare. I chose not to comment on rude people at airports/on planes. My head would explode!! I am sorry you guys had to go through that crappy experience.
