Today's Question(s): What foods did you grow up with that you haven't eaten since you left home?
My mother wasn't much of a cook, so I grew up with Bird's Eye Frozen chicken pie (which I loved). But they changed the recipe, and it wasn't the same - so I haven't had it since.
What foods did you not grow up with that you have to make up lost time for?
Fresh seafood.
Just for Fun: What was the last child-like fun thing you did (like blow bubbles, play with Silly Putty, play hopscotch, etc...), and when? Hmmm - it's been a while. Blowing bubbles was probably the most recent - in a bid to entertain someone's small child.
