Childhood

February 08 2015

I was on camp last week and the kids cooked the meals for staff. One group of boys responsible for dessert presented us with ice cream cake, fairy bread and lollies. Their rational was that being year 12 students this was the year most would technically become adults and they were also were expcted to act like adults, so dessert was meant to bring out the inner child in us. Today at the st.kilda street festival, I couldn't go past the fairy floss. My question is what childhood meal, treat or activity do you still indulge in or wish you could indulge in? Mary xx

    Fairy bread with butter, don't allow myself such luxuries as butter or bread, sprinkles though are meant for just that ;)

    Mary I am always up for fairy bread...yum yum yum. Has to be properly made - white bread, butter (not margarine) and turn the bread over and place butter side down onto the sprinkles and press lightly... that way you get heaps! Favorite childhood activity - skipping (not with rope though). Now I sometimes do it down the corridors at work. It sure shocks the hell out of those who think I am the serious, all business, no nonsense manager

    Redskin lollies. Still my fav, but they dont taste the same. Peanut butter straight out of the jar, still do it. Swinging on the hills hoist... Dont do that any more, they dont make them strong enough. Chasing boys in the playground, trying to kiss them. Still do that, but the playground is now rhp.Playing handball at school and being the best girl at it, not as good as the boys though. I still challenge my kids to a game, but they flog me. Playing music and dancing around my bedroom, still do that.catching yabbies with a bit of meat tied to string.going off to play with the neighbourhood kids after you had breakky, building tree houses, riding pushies,riding our horses, swimming in creeks,eating fruit off all the neighbours fruit trees, and not returning home until dinner time. Childhood sucked back then.

    They don't taste the same. And Ginger Nut Biscuits, no way they are the same. Eating Mulberries & the stains, pure bliss

    is the bomb. Also I used to love cheerios as a kid, definitely birthday party food. I've been gluten free and vegetarian for years so it's unlikely I'll ever eat either again (prob a good thing), but they sure bring back memories!

    Fairy bread all the way, as Kissk said, white fresh bread with real butter, but I pour the hundreds and thousands on so I get heaps. Still eat it to this day as a treat every now and then.

    Always have to have it at the children's parties and can't go past it at other parties. Another favourite, chocolate crackles........ Special treat for household or when we go camping is one I learnt at Brownies camp = banana sliced lengthways! three marshmallows slipped in and then two pieces of chocolate on top of that wrapped in foil and thrown in with the coals (or in the oven)......... Mmmmm memories :)

    clearly, because I don't get a figure like this from starving! But...I don't have any favourites, I am a variety girl, always have been. I am not really a sweet tooth either, I always ended up sick from parties and too much sweet stuff.

    My son has just hit double figures, would love to build a billy art with him and go hooning around a new suburb but alas just not possible these days. And his head is in the screen games.

    I grew up with sticky milk (condensed) sandwiches... ever so sweet but oh so yummy. I remember playing a game where you had a tennis ball in a stocking and you would stand against a brick wall whilst bouncing the stockinged ball between your legs chanting some ditty.... your mother my mother lived down the lane ..... And a game called stuck in the mud and of course Bullrush - Posted from rhpmobile

    in anything, I like to be the best at everything including when I was a kid. I played a lot of sport, sports captain in various sports, topped a lot of school classes, had a lot of trophies from singing to best bowling averages, best and fairest, winning team, got paid to paint a picture for the school principal. I was very active as a child, always playing outside.

    Well a couple of mine are. Bread and dripping (sounds disgusting now) But we used to rush home from church on Sunday (yes I was a good catholic boy and an alter boy which explains my kinkiness now...) the roast was almost cooked and we'd rub bread into the pan juices getting the black bits that were ohhh so delicious.... The other was licking the bowl/spoon/beaters after mum had made a cake..... ohhh and tomatoes from the vine with cheese sandwich.... Yumeeeee

    Man I had a deprived childhood. Not sure I miss it. Hence why I’ve made up for lost time.All sexual pleasures aside, I don’t deny myself rich foods or graphic novels or video games and I love cartoons and pinball and I had to let the ex-girlfriend go because she baked non-stop, even more than my own mum used to.Amazingly, I do find something extremely attractive and disturbing about the 1950s housewife. Probably because I grew up in a gender inverse household where I barely ever saw mum. Probably explains a lot.Apart from the fact that the ex-girlfriend made me gain more weight than I would have liked, and I’m pretty sure she broke my penis somewhere between 2-3 times but on the plus side she did not complain or judge about my golden shower fetish.Though I learned a powerful lesson from the relationship.When it comes to sex and food, I have no self control, if you bake a mountain of brownies or just get on your knees and open your mouth, I will most likely eat the brownies until they’re all gone, and then collapse from the porn star quality blowjob.But I guess some scars take time to heal eh? I guess the short answer would be chocolate fudge pop tarts, pac-man and teenage mutant ninja turtles. Three things that seemed to have aged remarkably well, except the newer versions of all three kind of suck balls.

    Quoting 'Koolgrey' ...it's fortunate you didn't continue to eat a diet like that. You would've died of heart disease long ago. : ) My grandmother ate like that all her life, and died living at home still doing her thing at 96 never ate a thing that was processed but yes , I am plump as a partridge and its a risk to stick your pork in this pork. My ticker might just give out on the vinegar strock

    Lots of the outdoor stuff, and going to the park but there were perverts back then as well in parks. But the best was riding horse bare back, gone all day to god knows where and back when just on sunset.

    Having kids gives me the opportunity to play the games I used to love....handball, kingball, kanga cricket, skipping elastics, double skipping ropes and marbles. Eating foods I loved as a kid is an infrequent treat... sago with thickened cream, golden syrup dumplings, nori rolls, creamed rice and my fav comfort food crunchy peanut butter mixed in the jar with honey then eaten straight up.yum yum yummy. - Posted from rhpmobile

    The white ones tasted better, haha. Pink was for the girls! And listening to old hits from the 70's and early 80's, usually what was on the car radio back then.
