One Stop.

I was in love with the idea of time efficiency as a kid, so to speed up mealtimes, I would eat my dinner and dessert at the same time. This consisted of making pasta, and when it was still nice and warm, dumping ice cream into it and mixing it around. 

It tasted like wrong. 


Malnourished Kid

My parents didn’t really cook for us too often so we had to fend for ourselves. Here are some of my grossest:

- slices of cucumbers with spicy brown mustard and raisins

- mustard sandwiches (yep, just yellow mustard on white bread in my lunchbox)

- Cool Whip sandwhiches (just replace the mustard from above with Cool Whip)

- cans of cherry pie filling (my dad encouraged this by buying cases for me when they were on sale)

- fried Cheerios (melt globs of butter in a pan, then add Cheerios and fry)


2 obsession made for one gross one

When i was younger i had love for two things…bananas and mayonaise…hence the banana and mayonaise sandwhich. white bread of course. Needless to say it was the grossest. If I even see one of those things nowadays i’d probably barf until the point of no recovery. I may have actually repressed the memory of it. Your blog brought it back to life.


Pepperoni Sandwiches

I used to take a pack of those Hormel pepperoni, spread them out on a paper plate, microwave them for  a minute or so and then eat them plain, or if I really wanted to class it up, pile them between two slices of bread. And I wondered why they called me Fatrick.


Homemade Orange Julius

I loved Orange Julius as a kid- it was all frothy and orangy and delicious, so we decided to try and make them at home. We actually tried a mix my Mom had bought at first, but it didn’t really work, so instead we:

- took an orange and peeled it

- smashed the shit out of the orange

- put the orange in the bottom of a huge glass and poured sugar on top of it

-poured milk and melty icecream on top of that

-stir and attempt to drink!


Potted meat concoction

ok I have all these beat. I use to open a can of potted meat mix with mayo to make it creamy and add diced pickles then spread between two slices of bread. Yum yum. Wouldn’t dream of eating that now!!


Cracker Stackers

As children, my grandma used to serve us saltine crackers layered with butter and cream cheese. We still eat them to this day.


What the hell is all over the toaster?

I used to make hot bologna sandwiches by toasting bread and putting the bologna on top of the toaster to heat it up. The best part was the top edge of the bread that caught the hot bologna juice dripping down…  mmmm tasty


Bubbly Icecream

My brother and I used to love to stir and stir our ice cream until it was smooth like soft serve. One day we got tired of stirring and thought the microwave would do a better job. So we stuck a few heaping scoops in the microwave and waited for it to bubble. Then we would enjoy our warm ice cream soup! Mint chip was the best. Eeew.


Syrup Grahams

This is super gross. I really really loved graham cracker crumbs as a kid. I used to pour that stuff in a bowl, pour maple syrup all over it, mix it all together, make balls out of the concoction, smush the balls flat with a fork, put them in a tupperware container, and chill them until they became solid pancakes of terrible.

The worst part is how much time and effort I had to put into making them. This wasn’t a sudden craving I had to fill, this as a recipe.
