    Funny you ask...regarding the other thread...
    @VegjoyP commented how 'wagon wheels' were her favorite...I wasn't even thinking pasta (which I'm pretty sure she meant). I was thinking 'cookie' (of course my mind immediately went to cookie lol!🤣)

    The pasta that most reminds me of my childhood was Kraft Dinner w/ chopped up wieners! I liked it then...now this sounds absolutely revolting🤣🤣

    The term wagon wheel cookies reminded me of Pinwheel cookies, wheel-shaped with a wafer bottom, marshmallow goo on the inside and chocolate coating; a treasure we kids found in the grocery bags on many a grocery shopping return. I swear it was me and my sibs who invented the 'what'd ya get at the store?' line. :/

    Another sweet I remember from childhood days were little chocolate candies in the shape of babies; dubbed chocolate babies. Gobbled by the bagful. :(

    At this time of year, my Mom would buy donuts and apple cider. She would also buy candied apples and, from a local bakery, these wonderful iced pumpkin cookies for my sister and me.

    But she was the BEST cook and baker. Autumn reminds me of her delicious baked apples, apple crisp, beef stew, vegetable beef soup, and homemade macaroni and cheese.

    That was my favorite soup! Then the Spaghetti O's with the hotdogs were the best.

    Tuna sandwiches on white bread with the crusts cut off, and cut into triangles. Of course the tuna was canned in oil. I would watch the clock and as soon as it hit 12 i would say, "tuna sandwich time!" 🤣 Also chocolate milkshakes (though not consumed at the same time as the tuna fish sandwich)

    Wild persimmons! My friends’dad used to take us out in the woods hunting for them in the fall. The store bought ones just can’t compete with the candy like sweetness of the little wild ones. My sister had a persimmon tree but then she moved, sadly! I need to find another wild tree somewhere!
