Foods from Childhood... (hamburgers, coffee, cookie, bread)

A restaurant my parents used to take us to had the best Boston Creme Pie, made by an old lady for many many years. I remember it to this day (20 years later) and wish I had a piece now!

Also, as an occasional treat, my stepmother used to make us chocolate gravy and biscuits for Sunday morning breakfast. Yum!

I grew up in New England, where Drake's Cakes were the preferred cake treat. Devil Dogs, Ring Dings, Yodels, Funny Bones. The imitators can't hold a candle to a Drake Cake.

Since I've moved away, Drake's Cakes are hard to find. Little Debbie doesn't do it. There was a time when a local grocery store was selling them, but then pulled them off the shelves. When you're in Little Debbie land, people do want to make the switch.

But I miss my Ring Dings and Yodels!

I LOVED going to Dairy Queen and getting a mint chocolate chip Dilly Bar!

My favorite at-home treat was either Quisp out of the box or Jello vanilla pudding.

Blackberries and apples fresh from the bushes/trees, chopped up and mixed with sugar

Banana - mashed with honey - sandwiches

Nutella on hot toast

Dairy Queen had this great eggnog they made on premises...sold in megaphone-shaped cartons.
