[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 73779, member: 3647"] You know, I was browsing through one of my mom's old cookbooks not that long ago. You guys are not kidding about us having evolved as far as cuisine. And even the recipes that did sound good, the pictures...holy cow...what the heck did they use for ink back then? EVERYTHING was a big deal back then. Even in MY back than, which was not as far back as a lot of your back thens (heh heh, I'm only 38) but still before cable, it was a BIG DEAL when the Christmas specials came on. It was a big deal once a year when the Wizard of Oz came on. Seeing Santa one time at the mall was huge. There were no breakfasts with santa at every grocery store, park district, school, and outhouse. You got to see the man ONE time, and you better have behaved. McDonalds was DEFINITELY a special treat, for my brothers anyways. I did not like hamburgers. And guess what? That is all they had. Hamburgers. Me, I got to go to Novi's for a Chicago hot dog or a meatball sandwich (the BEST). Ice cream? We had square scoops of ice cream from C-ock Robin. MAYBE 3 times per summer. And MAYBE 2-3 times per year we went to the drive in for an A&W root beer float. They hung the tray off your window. Your float came in a glass. EVERYTHING is overkill nowadays. I miss Mayberry.
