What I miss most is my mom's mac-n-cheese. She wasn't ever a fancy cook, and I do follow the recipe she used, but it never comes out quite the same that hers did.
My aunt's fried chicken and chocolate pie. She was more like a grandmother to me than an aunt. I miss her very much. Although I have the handwritten recipes; they don't taste the same. She seasoned with love and it made all the difference in the world.
My grandmother made the BEST dumplings!!
The skin my mother let form on the top of cooling chocolate pudding because I loved to eat it.
Devil Dogs, a back-east clump of delicious calories. Mary Jane candies.
My mother's Sunday morning bisquick biscuits.
Real sukiyaki.
Grilled toro the way my little neighborhood sushi-ya in Tokyo made it.
The secret ponzu at a little ryokan in the mountains of Nagano-ken; and they liked me so they told me the recipe.
Typical Japanese breakfast of a bowl of hot rice, a raw egg broken into the rice, a dash of soy sauce, mix it up with chopsticks, and start gathering a bit into a strip of nori seaweed. Oh be still my heart...
I have 2:
Carnation breakfast bars. OH MAN those were the BEST things ever!
Eagle brand Hawaiian Kettle chips
OMG! I used to love Carnation Breakfast Bars...in fact, I was just looking for them recently.
Also, Taco flavored Doritos, the original, not "taco bell" flavor and not the ones mixed in the bag with another flavor, yuck!
Also, remember Marathon Bars? It was a long caramel braid dipped in chocolate, I used to get them from the ice cream truck, and big buddy gum
Also, my grandma used to make the yummiest peanut butter fudge and this other candy that had peanut butter and a powdered sugar concoction wrapped around it and rolled. She passed while I was too young to ever think to ask for the recipe. I was talking the other day with an older lady and telling her about this and she said it was probably "Potato Candy" which was really popular when she was growing up, her mom made it. I googled it and it is probably the same thing, I'm going to try it out!
Ahhh memories!
