What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

@kellybelly223 Ah yes, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. If I weren't allergic these days, I'd have them still (along with pb and onion--already mentioned--and pb and banana).

Penzey's has a store nearby--I admit to being drawn in by the sniff jars.

Making Butter at Home

I've made butter in a jar--shaking until I thought my arm would seize up. It was fabulous. Lots of work, though.

In Videos: Lay's Inflatable Flailing People

So, eating Lays makes one an insubstantial person? I'll need to remember that the next time I've an urge to visit the notorious snack machine.

Who created that marketing plan??

Large-Scale Enticing Food Smells

Back when I rode my bicycle to work, I would peddle past the King's Hawaiian Bakery (the factory, not the restaurant, in north Torrance, CA, I believe). The aroma was amazing: sweet, luscious bread. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
