Moooo! Me want cupcakes! :)

Moo.

Home cooked is new for me. I actually like some of my cooking.

Hey Diana, wait ‘til they discover pasty and limburger and onion sandwiches!

Home preserves, those staples of the pantry 60 years ago, quickly rose to new heights of D-I-Y coolness. Never knew I and my garden and home canning would make me part of the "New Cool Crowd"!

No wonder we in Wisconsin tend to be on the heavy side. All we do is talk about and write about food. Now I’m hungry!

I’ve made the Cooks.com “perfect” chocolate chip cookies. They are indeed good, and not that much more of a hassle than regular old Toll House (which was the baseline they worked from). Much more of a rich, “gourmet” cookie than something you’d serve to the kids, of course.

Suppers were so distinctive when my kids were little c1970.

Breakfast was cereal and milk. Lunch was soup and/or sandwich. Dinner was meat, potato vegie, bread, butter, milk for dinner. Sunday and Tursday was sauce and macaroni.

Snacks? Maybe graham crackers, ho hos, chocolate cup cakes. (we had a Millbrook outlet near us) but not every day.

Never bought chips...and I mean NEVER.

When I made more money, we occasionally went to Pizza Hut for the buffet.

They're all grown up...eat a lot of cr** food and they all have bellies...but thank God, they are healthy.

Mom, at 67, is still 108 lbs, 115/70.

You left out the canned soda, bottled pop or whatever it’s called.

Now you'll find them, tastefully clad in Birkenstocks and Columbia-brand field shorts, rustling up a salad of watercress and morels from out of the wild wood.

Ah, the Bobos go to graze.

Do these people still think Whole Foods is cool?

[Sacajaweau]

Never bought "pop" for home. Bought a pitcher at Pizza Hut...No Ice...(Taught my kids that they got more that way).

They still order with no ice.

We had lemonade during the summer...

I think the author of the article is stretching to find "trendy" new foods that people are eating. Most people are not eating these items.

Recent trips through my local supermarket reveal that most trendy new foods are fruit roll-ups, rice cakes of various flavors and textures and exotic flavors of tortilla chips (such as black bean and garlic). I think pickled pigs-feet are finally catching on in a big way as well.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

No way! I’m keepin’ those for myself, LOL! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You just gotta balance it with hard work and fresh air!

I am a total ‘Foodie.’ :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I use the Toll House recipe, but add some peanut butter to it. It keeps them nice and moist, but doesn't taste peanut-buttery at all.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

‘Food on a Stick’ really should be on this list!

“Do these people still think Whole Foods is cool?”

They do here in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ though the Hippies get a wild hair once in a while and picket them for some imagined slight, LOL!
