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 am not a fan at all of pickles on my sandwich or burger. Yet, I actually do like pickle spears by themselves. Oddly enough I find if you take the same pickle spear flavor and cut it round like the pickles you put on a sandwich - yarf!
ReplyDeleteBoy, there are a lot that come to mind, which is sad. LOL Topping the list are beets, quinoa, sweet potatoes, capers, olives, grilled fruit, most seafood, and carmelized onions (love them cooked, but once it starts getting into the sweet phase where it's kind of syrupy, I'm out). For whatever reason my taste buds do not like sweet/savory together at all. And funny enough, I cannot stand ketchup on meatloaf -- love hamburgers with ketchup, but when I see meatloaf cooked with that strip of ketchup...blech.
ReplyDeleteI like tomatoes, but they have to be really firm, like a day or two before truly ripe. Once they get soft at all they're only good for salsa or sauce.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is "nothing from the sea" (a quote from a tv show that I pretty much live by) but I think a lot of people don't like seafood.
One really weird thing is that I don't like ketchup on hamburgers, but I do like ketchup with fries/tots.
