Blast from the Past

Mmmmmmm. Put on my Homer suit. I seriously feel a craving from childhood. How odd!

I want fried shrimp with tartar sauce, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a huge side of green beans (served in a separate bowl so as not to bleed over into the breading on the shrimp and water it all down) from Morrison’s Cafeteria.

Ahh… there’s the ALMOST perfect picture from my youth. Damn… I guess Morrison’s is no more? It’s Piccadilly now? So sad.
Now… why am I craving this over a decade since I last had it (and even then it wasn’t as good as I remember it being say 30 years ago)?
Damn you, gluten free living! (Just kidding. I love living gluten free. No migraines since November! Life is lovely.)

    Boo for cravings (I hate them; I have very little willpower), but Yay for no migraines (I hate those too, but don’t have them nearly as often as you)!Quite a few people on my Low-Carb mailing list are on gluten-free diets as well and they’ve said how much it has helped them feel so much better. Yay for better living through healthy eating! 🙂

    I just suddenly got a craving for the AWESOME Coconut Shrimp that Mom and I used to go get for lunch in Laguna Beach. *sigh* Thanks for the memory, sis! XXOO

    Comfort food will always be comfort food, and that, my friend, is looking soooo naughty and GOOD right now!

    How very weird! On Sunday my hubby and I went to the Daily Grill and after scanning the menu, I just HAD to have the fish & chips!
