There's also a diessert called Baked Alaska, which is ice cream baked inside a shell of sugar, like the topping of a lemon meringue pie. Used to be served in all the swanky restaurants and hotels. But same thing with deep fried candy bars. The batter gets fried but the chocolate does not melt...

That's the one. I wonder if that toothpaste is still around. Oragel comes in handy when you have a toothache and can't afford to get to the dentist.

I vaguely remember Little Bear. Very cute. The most specificthing I can remember was him brushing his teeth. Little Bear seemed to be a companion piece to Franklin. Same time, same gentle tone. Although I was way above the targeted demographic, I was pleased to know there were good shows around...

The CHRISTmas spirit will come whether it snows or not. If your sense of how to measure Christmas depends on weather conditions, I feel sorry for you. All the weather is doing is giving you one more excuse to be miserable.

Little brothers will be little brothers. I could probably write a book on the grief I put my big sister through.

Wall noises, if the walls could talk. Thank you for returning with my favorite nautical tale since "Mutiny on the Bounty".

Okay, fair enough. I don't run into too many people even close to my age. But here's encouraging news to all you young folk. You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

No, I remember when the term was Global Warming, been around for at least the last 30 years. Back in 1987 they blamed the Chinese for a billion refrigerators spewing CFCs into the atmosphere. If it's something beyond our control, like weather,and you can't write your congressman to fix it, then...

Bosom Buddies was good. I remember its original network run (My Life" and all that). Good stuff. Thelma Hopkins also sang in the 70s hit group Tony Orlando and Dawn (somewhere I still have a 45 of their big hit "Knock Three Times". So she was a big deal. Little did anyone know what a big deal...

Actually, I look ahead with a badge of honor of how many decades I've been able to usher in. 1969-70 doesn't count, I was still a baby. But since then, 2019-20 will be my sixth. And at 51, I'm OLDER than just about everybody else here, but I do not feel OLD. Big difference here. Dick Clark and...

So today is August 61st? I better sue my bank for giving me a defective calendar. Dirty rats. I got a good mind to pull my fourteen dollars out of my account and take my business somewhere else. Still no thought of moving north, eh? Yes, the jet stream covering the eastern half of the country...

Happy birthday Mom! Today Mrs. Gallagher is 82, and with longevity on her side, stands a good chance of seeing 100.

Maybe she'll go into selling Amway.

Another happy birthday. All the best

I don't know if I'd call it a game show in the strictest sense. A number of times I watched it, the 3 final videos to be voted on, one usually featured a young toddler . More often than not, the video with the toddler won. So unlike other game shows where there's a modicum of skill required...

Okay, since this thread got bumped... Too bad drtooth isn't still here. He'd appreciated this. In the spring of 1990 on Fox on Saturday mornings, was this neat little show called Zazoo U. Only lasted a season. But was great for its brief existence. Kind of a 90s version of "Duck Amuck". Had a...

Also at the fair is a stand that deep fries everything. Deep fried Oreos. Deep fried pickles. Deep fried Snickers. You get the idea.Try this out for size. They have something called the Defibrillator. Two fried burgers, fried pickles, fried bacon , fried cheese, sandwiched between two grilled...

I'm at the Bloomsburg State Fairin Pennsylvania right now. You heard of maple syrup? One guy is selling hickory syrup. Good stuff. Great over pancakes. He also has a syrup laced with bourbon, and another one with spice that will make a great glaze over chicken. Good stuff!

I have a friend who went out to Michigan and brought back a case of Vernor's ginger ale.This stuff is like champagne, it's fantastic. They sell it in the Midwest, and down South, but not in the Northeast. It's nice you can still find local stuff around the country you can't find back home. The...
