"Name five foods, dishes or otherwise, that were a part of your childhood, and that you sometimes miss when nostalgia gets to you..."
This might be difficult! As much as I love food, my favorite foods now don't echo back to my childhood. The things I crave now - Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, extreme dark chocolate, latte's with creamy foam - are far removed from my plain Jane childhood food.
1. This one is embarrassing. Chef Boyardee Ravioli. Wouldn't touch the stuff now, but I ate it for lunch every day. Preschool through kindergarten, my lunch came straight from the can. And I loved it. My Mom has always blamed my weight issues on Chef Boyardee.
2. Chocolate milkshakes from Wheeler's Pharmacy. Eating at the counter was one of our big treats growing up. We'd get hamburgers on buttered buns, fries, and a chocolate shake. They used real ice cream. They would pour it into a curvy Coke glass, then serve the extra in the shiny metal mixing cup. I loved it. Drinking a yummy chocolate milkshake and spinning on the counter stool.
3. Meat loaf. My Mom makes a truly yummy meatloaf. We probably ate it every other week. I know this is truly comfort food, since my Mom brought me meat loaf the week after Nathan was born.
4. We didn't come across Chicken Enchiladas until somewhere in high school. It's really an Americanized casserole version of enchiladas. I made it for Randy often right after we got married (before our Weight Watcher days). It's cheesy and saucy, with lots of cumin and chili powder.
5. My Grandmother D's ham bisquits. She made these for every single family function. She doesn't entertain as often now, and my family is usually not invited when she does. But I still love her ham bisquits. She always used county ham, and the bisquits were always tiny and perfect, and always piping hot straight from the oven.
