i remember making apple pies with my mother on Saturday afternoons while listening to the Metropolitan Opera. i think Texaco ("the man who wears the star") sponsored it back then. She let me take the extra dough and roll it out, put butter on it, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll it up, and cut it into pinwheels to bake. She called them dough-lies. They were so flaky and good while they were hot. i don't think they ever had a chance to get cold.

i miss my mother. She died of breast cancer in 1971.

smiles I love your ones SB

I have a similar christmas one...... one year there was a big box for me, my brothers took great delight in telling me mum and dad had got me a laundry basket to stop me leaving my clothes on the floor. I believed them and cried and cried at the thought that I was getting a laundry basket for christmas....and it turned out to be a HUGE orange teddy bear (I still have him at my parents home)

Moms are easy to miss, ne? I miss mine more than I thought I would. And, you're joking right? I was just getting up to make some of those myself! LOL

smiles...that is another beautiful memory Fluffy

I know that the most precious memories for me have been times like you mentioned, doing some baking with my mum or friends, or doing some colouring in or something craft-ish..... those are exactly the same types of memories I worked hard to build with my niece and to my delight these are the things she can still recall, baking biscuits, making paper or candles and the 5th birthday party she had with a fairy theme where I made a birthday cake that she and I decorated like a fairy grotto. She is about to turn 18 and I love that she has these memories

After i was on my own, i would make the pie dough and make it all into dough-lies and not pies. We did it the old way where you cut in part of the shortening and then cut in the rest making little pea sized bits before mixing in the COLD water tablespoon by tablespoon.

Really now, is there any other way to do it and have it come out right? Although, my family, it was lard. Tennessee hillbillies. yeeeeeehaw!

Although, I decided to make bread pudding instead now... because, I don't want to fight with pie dough at the moment.

Cooking at this time of night... I remember going over to my mom's place after M and I moved back to the town she was in to take care of her for a while toward the end of her life before she had to go into a facility. We would go over at midnight, 1am, whatever and fire up the grill and I'd bring some inexpensive steaks or make burgers or hotdogs or whatever. I often sit around now missing those midnight bbqs with her. Just sit on the back porch, have a beer and turn the radio on, shoot the shit with mom, enjoy a burger and watch the stars. Why? Because we damn well wanted to.

It's amazing what little things will bring back vivid memories. The smell of the vanilla from the bread pudding is making me remember my aunts kitchen and the little black and white tv on the counter where my cousin and I and the whole family would all sit around and watch the muppet show, and the wood burning heater just as you walked into the front door, and paul williams singing "Sad Song" on that one particular episode, and my uncles coming in smelling awful because they'd been out hunting, and all of us going out to see the two deer they got during the commercial, and coming back in from the freezing cold and having hot cocoa, and the way the top of the table felt. It was a hand made table, so the finish and sealant on it was a little uneven in a couple spots and I can almost still feel the little bumps and grooves if I close my eyes, and everyone later on after getting all cleaned up and such, playing Uno until god knows what time.

I remember when my brother and I were kids and we'd go trick or treating and then come home and sort and count our loot on the floor of the livingroom.

I remember the bad but beloved smell of crappy polyurethane masks for Halloween, painted on the outside and chalk white on the inside...

glorious WALLS of monsters and heroes and creatures and famous people...

and even BETTER maks (at least the ads made them look so) in the ads of Famous Monsters of Filmland.

I remember Forry (Forrest J Ackerman), the guy who founded that magazine and made SO many of us happier than we'd be if he never went to the effort.

Someone had to mention cartoons ? I remember when neither the Roadrunner nor the Coyote talked. Just background music, and sound effects done by an orchestra for the most part.

I also remember when you could smell the flowers. I don't mean go up to them and sniff, I mean just walking by. Seriously, there was omething different about the air back then. You could smell a dog outside, a car exhaust, freshly cut grass. Maybe you still can if you live in the sticks, but way back you could smell these things in the city.

I also remember real icecream cones. They took a scooper and put it on there, trying to pack it in without breaking the shell. The stuff they give you now looks like a sick cow shitting out the machine. Machine ? We had never heard of such a thing. Also banana splits that didn't have five metric tons of chocolate on them. Chocolate is fine, but there are other flavors in the world.

The best things I remember are about doing things I was too young to do. At Grampa's grinding something. Safety goggles ? Never heard of them. Shields and guards ? The hell you say. Chainsaws ? Lots of fun. Popping wheelies on riding lawnmowers.

And for worst or best, infatuation. There was this girl named Eva. The rest of it I blame on the environment, but I don't get infatuated anymore, that is a change in me.

Last but not least, Grandma's candy drawer always had Broch's.

Yep, stopping at the baskin robbins and getting a double scoop of bubblegum ice cream in a sugar cone. God, how did we manage to eat that stuff? It was HORRIBLE!

I remember ketchup on my mac and cheese too. I tried that again a little while back. WHY!? What in the hell did I EVER like about it?

i remember....

Ultraman in a latex silver kinkster outfit, fighting wonderfully rubbery monsters!

I remember Brachs candies too, termy! BEAUTIFUL wrappers, and the best butterscotches.

I remember Scooby Doo BEFORE the comedy took over and ruined it, when the beginning had actual creepy monsters and ghosts...

I remember CREATURE FEATURES!

I even recall The Funky Phantom... a FAVE of mine! :

smiles...ok this is one that makes me cry, but it is tears of happiness at having such wonderful memories..... my little brother (the one who suicided a numbr of years ago) and I had rooms next to each other when little and there was a fan thing in the shared wall we had. It was being repaired so there was this hole left in the wall and when we were meant to be asleep we would both stand on our beds and poke our heads through the hole and talk to each other. We always got caught though by our parents as our giggling gave us away

Ha! A friend and I were just discussing those butterscotch candies yesterday. I normally hate butterscotch, but I did make the caveat of "Except those hard candy ones that grandpas always had." LOL And sitting there with grandpa, being the favorite grandkid (oh yeah, I knew it, so did everyone else), he was bed ridden most of his life, but I'd go back and hang with him, and we'd watch baseball on his little tv, and I'd read his old west magazines and he'd always save the russel stover's chocolate covered caramels for me. No one else was allowed to touch them, "Them's for Pedro!", he'd say. I never could figure out why the hell he called me "Pedro", not to this day. Then again, the man had been struck by lightning twice, blown up while working on Mt. Rushmore, had a block of ice blasted through his chest (the old coot was on 1/4 lung for the last 20 years of his life), picked up and dropped by a tornado at least once that we know of (the epitome of the irish guy too stubborn to admit he's been dead for years), and a good chunk of his past that he never talked about to anyone, his childhood, not even grandma knew about. Sooo, I could have reminded him of someone, or he could have just been completely insane. Either way, if it got me the caramels, he could call me pedro or whatever he wanted.

And Commander USA's Groovie Movies showing old Jackie Chan kung fu flicks. Grandpa loved those so much, he'd just lay there and watch and laugh for 2 hours. It's still a treat to watch some of them now and think of those days.
