Oh my word! What memories do these sweet treats conjure up?! They are kind of a rare item in Phoenix. I was at Cracker Barrel and they had them on sale. I also got the little lamp that is pictured below. Anyway, it has been a long time since I have had or seen one. They totally remind me of visiting my grandmother in Salem Missouri when I was a kid. My cousin (who was 2 years older than me), brother and I grew up mostly as city kids, but every summer we spent at least one week at Ma's house. There were only the 3 of us so she would have us all at the same time. I'm sure she would have to recover when we left. : ) My brother was awfully hard on grown ups. : ) My cousin and I would take our money and walk down to the corner store and pick out candy or soda and walk back to Ma's house. We'd sit on the back stoop and talk, talk, talk...little girl talk.
She lives in Kansas City now and I miss her. Maybe I'll call her tonight.....
Moon Pies! I remember them, but it has beeen many years since I indulged. :) Thanks for the memory!

HI LIZ. WE STILL HAVE MOON PIES HERE IN MISSISSIPPI. WE CAN BUY THEM AT DOLLAR GENERAL AND WAL MART. SHOULD YOU FIND ANY, LET ME TELL YOU A TREAT TO ENJOY WITH THEM. TAKE PIE OUT OF WRAPPER, PLACE IT ON A SAUCER OR IN A SMALL BOWL, MICROWAVE UNTIL THE MARSHMALLOW STARTS TO RISE, TAKE IT OUT OF MW, PUT A SCOOP OF ICE CREAM ON IT. EAT IMMEDIATELY!!! DELISH!!!! WE LIKE THE VANILLA ONES LIKE THIS, BUT I'M SURE IT WOULD BE GOOD WITH THE CHOCOLATE ONES TOO.
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS YOUR DAY! SURE ENJOY YOUR BLOG.
