He also has regrettable decorating ideas (mostly from the 70s) and the book my children liked best was something about bad ideas for raising babies.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-61972855347381153122010-07-21T09:32:32.870-04:002010-07-21T09:32:32.870-04:00I just want to say that the pineapple/carrot jello...I just want to say that the pineapple/carrot jello thing makes me shudder. And, yes, my Mom made it a lot - with shredded cheddar cheese in it too - lemon jello. Can't stand lemon jello to this day. <br /><br />I think I need to take a look at this book. My Mom had some very odd salads, mixture-wise. And, yet, she would refuse to mix salad greens, carrots, celery, tomatoes, etc. because she was afraid that there were parts of a green salad that people didn't like. She'd put it on a platter seperately. Odd again!

When we were newly weds (way back in the 60's) I found a recipe and it sounded good but it was disgusting. Every time we hear of something weird or gross foodwise we just look at each other and say corn hamburger bake. My mother's spice rack consisted of salt and pepper.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-75876842996882333492010-07-21T07:15:06.699-04:002010-07-21T07:15:06.699-04:00This looks pretty fun.
