Enjoying Mother's Day late lunch with Mom, and we got to talking about foods I liked as a kid.
Fejoida - what more can I say?
Broccoli Salad (with tomato, onion and vinaigrette) - "Babyte", my dad's mom, used to make this
Orange/yogurt pops - my mom used to make her own yogurt in this little yellow yogurt machine, then mix with orange juice concentrate, and freeze in plastic freezer pop containers
Grandma's pot roast - boil the hell out of it, eat it with horseradish, serve liquid with potatoes, carrots, onion, maybe green peas at the end.
Grandma's crumble cake - crust with plums/apples in a jammy consistency, and then a butter/sugar/flour crumble on top...oh man...
I didn't like green peas as a kid.
Made butternut squash ravioli per Giada's recipe, but my own dough (4 eggs, about 3 cups cake flour), ran thru the pasta machine eventually to the thinnest setting. Turned out really well; it was what Mom asked for Mother's Day! :)
