I had this boyfriend in high school that ate liverwurst everyday for lunch and then he’d burp. He’s the one who is responsible for my first broken heart. I can’t help wondering sometimes whatever became of him and whether they even sell liverwurst anymore?
I had another boyfriend in high school that ate peanut butter with grape jelly everyday for lunch. He tortured our cat, which made me very angry though I was never assertive enough about making him stop. He had long hair that his father hated and I sometimes wonder whatever became of him and whether he still eats PB&J everyday for lunch.
Oh these lunchtime memories.
I remember when I was a kid living in Alabama we used to eat fried bologna on white with mayo for lunch during the summer. My sister and I would lock my brothers, affectionately referred to as the “boys,” outside and then “throw” sandwiches out to them and quickly re-lock the door. Looking back I can see that was cruel (sorry guys) and I sometimes wonder if my behavior left them with a permanent emotional scar?
And then today I opened a little jar of Orange Marmalade that came in a Swiss Colony Christmas gift package from my mother and father. I admit to eating the strawberry jam that came in the package first and waiting on the Orange Marmalade till last. I really wanted to like this orange marmalade, but wasn’t at all certain I would so I decided to couple it with my peanut butter on wheat today for lunch.
At first I wasn’t sure about the bitterness of orange rind blended with sweetness, but then just as I thought my review would be negative, the marmalade mixed with the peanut butter won me over. Delicious this old fashioned marmalade.
This discovery makes me wonder, does anyone even eat orange marmalade anymore, or have they repackaged the vast quantities of marmalade produced ages ago into small jars specifically for inserting into Swiss Colony gift packages?
Well, enough of those old and new lunchtime memories. The bigger question is whatever happened to make fruitcake such an outcast and what can be done about it now?
Time for peanut butter and fluff!!!!
I happen to know a certain gray haired hunk of burning love who buys orange marmalade on a regular basis. (Of course this is anecdotle evidence and should not be considered the norm)
Really, who woulda thunk there would be a marmalade consumer in my midst. I never knew!
Right!!! You and Mikey loved PB&Fluff! LOL. More lunchtime memories!
I also happen to like Orange Marmalade and I currently have a jar in my fridge! Also, I love, love PB & Fluff (heavy on the fluff though). Gotta love the sugar high!
Cheryl, I never knew I had so many Orange Marmalade loves in my midst! I, again, am a late comer! Well, at least I discovered OM and can enjoy it from now on!
Lunch time memories…..love it. Here is a couple for me. Peanut butter & fluff, mac and cheese with the macdonalds in duanesburg, grace and what ever she eats!!! Good times…..
