I used to chew Hubba Bubba or Bubble Yum. I think Hubba Bubba was those little squre type gum and had a comic inside.
Yep you are correct. I did the same... loved those bubble gums. For a different twist on bubble gum I would buy a pack of baseball cards which came with a slab of bubble gum thin shaped like a baseball card. It was good too.

Oh yeah those were good too. I ate the gum and threw out the cards.

LOL.. I am so glad you said that! I too threw out the baseball cards just to chew the bubble gum... but I didn't want to say that because boys were supposed to be interested in baseball and collect the cards. I enjoyed playing little league baseball... I just did't care to watch it on TV... too slow and boring a game for me. LOL Thanks!

Boys don't have to do manly things at all. I had a childhood friend that was a little boy who liked to play with dolls, we had alot of fun together, and liked to rife our big wheels together in his basement, true story. So you don't like to watch baseball on tv, sometimes it is slow, but I never watch basketball, that's the only sport I never watch.

I always liked Fresh n up.gum where some.type of liquid juice would squirt in your mouth when you chewed it. I also always like those big sour type suckers, they came in green apple, grape and cherry.

I never set foot in a church until I was 17 at a cousins wedding, as for the baseball card
gum in later years it got so hard you couldn't chew it.

Now that would be cool to grow your own and just go out to the barn and grab some!

Mom used to let us lick the beaters or spoon after she made cookies or cakes. When she made pie crust she would save any extra leftover pie dow and she would roll it out and sprinkle it with cinnamin and sugar... and then cut into long strips and roll them up with the cinnamin and sugar all inside. Then she buttered and baked the roll ups along with the pie. When done she gave us the roll ups as a treat. What a great Mom!   ;D

That sounds really good. My grandmother made the best homemade strawberry cake,  homemade grape juice and at Christmas time a float that sometimes you drank it and other times you had to eat it with a spoon. She also made a really good rhubarb pie. I miss those treats. My grandfather was the cook in that house.

Ah yes, rhubarb pie. Sometimes would make rhubarb pie with a twist by adding a pack of strwberry jellow to the filling... yum. Also made tomato jelly with tomatoes and strawberry jellow. I loved Grandma's homemade watermellon rhine sweet pickles... the secret to that recipie is cinnamin spice and allspice.

Yes thanks, after Mom passed away they devided out all of Mom's things. I only asked for one little thing... her recipie box. To me that was the prized possession of all!. I held on to the treasure trove of all Mom's recipies for 20 years. Then about 5 years ago I passed it on to my brother to hold for the next 20 years. We still always share the reicpies back and forth whenever either of us want something. Brother talked about printing them all off, but hasn't yet. The Mrs. and I were just talking today about asking my brother for my Mom's pie dow recipie because she had the best buttery flaky crust pie dow recipie which beats every resteraunt. Mom actually was the pie baker at a resteraunt for years... and used all her own recipies. Love ya Mom!

Anyone ever hear of "Preddles"? If so do you have a recipie for it to share? Preddles is and old German ground meat. It is usally made from scraps when butchering hogs and beef kinda like sausage. It includes beef heart primary and meat scraps pork & beef. The main ingredient is oatmeal and meat kinda like meatloaf.  The ground meat mixture is seasoned I think mainly with salt, pepper, and a lot of allspice. This then is spread thin in a frying pan and fried till crispy mainly to be served for breakfast, but good anytime. It is so delisious it will give you an orgasim! LOL
