Store-bought cheese just didn't produce the yummy mac/cheese of her childhood and she decided it wasn't worth the effort to make it homemade. The blue box produced mac/cheese that didn't taste that much different from homemade using store-bought cheese!<br /><br />Oh yeah - we come from a long line of food Nazis!Vera @ Cozy Little Cabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102674708676130771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601189211351324438.post-72359971581885920552012-05-08T07:00:43.980-05:002012-05-08T07:00:43.980-05:00Nancy, I don't remember how old I was when I ...Nancy, I don't remember how old I was when I read "The Hiding Place", but still remember how God had good come from all those fleas!

And guess what - my dearest friend for 30+ years had divorced parents and her mom married and remarried several times. <br /><br />Speaking of "growing up". . . my soon-to-be 91 year old mom recently commented about how stupid she was when younger. She was real particular about religious denominations when I was growing up. And after I was married, too! ;)<br /><br />I will keep looking for that gorgeous pale pink geranium, but if I don't I will be sure to remind you of your kind, generous offer!<br /><br />OK - I'm off to see what you're up to today!Vera @ Cozy Little Cabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102674708676130771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601189211351324438.post-6150611317183742012-05-06T21:00:55.349-05:002012-05-06T21:00:55.349-05:00Truthfully. Ok..I shall be truthful here. :) I&...Truthfully. Ok..I shall be truthful here. :) I'm afraid I've been judgemental in an area that perhaps I should not be discussing publicly. I judged Marilyn Monroe. I saw her in "Niagara" and decided..then that she was a bit of a floozy because rumor had it that she didn't wear undies. Another one I judged was Shelly Winters. Again, the gossip of teens...and it took me many years before I realized..(not on a pantie or no pantie issue) not everyone THINKS alike. Not everyone stays chaste until marriage. The old "good girl, bad girl" thing was instilled in me pretty strongly. I raised four girls and three boys and I know they were certainly not saints, no matter how much training I did. Just a fact. <br />I, perhaps, grew up? :)<br />Later in life, it was John Steinbeck's East Of Eden that taught me a few things about people. Example: Pretty by no means makes a person good. :) Not by a long shot, NOR does it make them bad. Sort of the same way you learned about the color of ones skin.<br />Sad that so many do. <br />So.."Never judge a book by it's cover" pretty much covers one of lifes biggest lessons for me.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.. About the Geranium. I have NO idea where I got it or what the name of it is. I have had it for about six years. Maybe longer. It's a wonder that little bitty bit of it survived. When it gets large enough..and I mean this..and you still haven't found it...I will wrap a piece of it in dampened moss and mail it to you. :) I promise...and you can raise your own. :) <br />Remind me..<br />Hugs,<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601189211351324438.post-2886795762960508272012-05-05T15:50:16.888-05:002012-05-05T15:50:16.888-05:00Vera, Please tell us your mothers answer to the Kr...Vera, Please tell us your mothers answer to the Kraft Mac & Cheese question.

I'm not sure how it changed me, other than make me aware of a part of history that must have been a major issue in our fathers lives. The older I get the more I understand some of my Dad's characteristics that more than likely came from fighting that war and being of German decent. I have read many stories along this same line and just can't seem to put them down. My dad refused to talk of this time in his life, and I guess this is how I fill in the blanks.<br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
