Thanks, everybody,
I see I'm not alone with these food memories.
Ca88, yes on everything you put butter on, we did too. We used to vie to lick the butter wrapper.
Incubus, at least you're smiling with me, not laughing at me.
Poms, sorry I made you hungry. I don't know where Incubus and Ca88andra are from, but with us, it's the Dairy State, right? At least we used to really be the Dairy State; I think California has taken over. In the Dairy State, we eat butter. That's butter, not margarine. That reminds me, I will do a butter/margarine blog sometime. My husband has an angle on that.
My mother would make the Christmas cookies, fill special holiday tins with them, and we couldn't eat them! She saved them for the actual Christmas and for company. As we got older, my sisters and I would tease her about when will we eat the cookies? Sometime after Christmas we finally could eat whatever cookies were left. <shaking head> Those were the days, all right.

Witchflower My mom did not cook it was grama
And boy did she cook, fryed pork chops in oil, french frys, keshka, polish sausage,kharnena (duck blood soup) I did not eat that one. Tuna cass. And at christmas cookies boy did she make cookies. She wood bake for over 2 weeks and I think it came to over 50 doz cookies. That is one of the things she gave a a gift. I also was not forced to eat every thing. The only rule my mom and grama had was you had to try a little of every thing. I think that is why my fav. veg is spinage. Sorry cant spell it. And the butter yes on every thing potatos with gravy, veges. bread. My fav thing when I was a kid was a mir. whip on tost or penutbutter ham and bananas on tost. so I know and my food is George Webs the best grees burger in town when I was a kid (1970'). Now I have to go get something to eat have a good day

"Meat could use some butter, too, if it was steak."
What a great big smile you got out of me on that line!
We all love good food if we can get it.

Witchflower, my family did the butter thing too. Butter on all vegetables, butter on baked potatoes, rolls, bread, in between pancake layers, etc etc etc. Sometimes both butter and gravy. My mother cooked a lot of Russian food - very heavy casserole dishes, mountains of mashed potatoes, thick soups - it was all very delicious.
