Certain Foods Bring Memories

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and Chef Boy-Ar-Dee boxed pizza If I had a dollar for every time I ate these two as a child I could probably buy a desk, a computer, and a lava lamp If it was not quite enough for all three, maybe I could buy a lava lamp And beads to fit in my doorway, I do love that seventies look! And a fake fur chair that yells my name in pink and orange I would buy hip hugger bell bottoms if there is any extra money. It is funny how certain foods take you right back to your childhood. My husband and I cannot even look at a chicken pot pie. When we were first married, we ate two chicken pot pies And two frozen macaroni and cheese and half loaf of bread each For the first two or three years, until our daughter could cook.
