Thanks to Shoko and Tyebe of the Canadian Cats and Nelly and Phenny of Easy Blog for hosting this yummy day.
Mom’s favorite childhood treat is really funny. It’s not food at all. It’s a drink. And she got it every day! The recipe is easy. Walk to the corner grocery. Insert a dime into the machine outside the store. Pop the cap and drink.
Actually Mom liked hers unfizzy, so she popped the cap and let it sit around for a few hours before drinking.
This is Xena, and it’s my turn for my favorite food. It’s easy, just like Mommy’s. Get someone to go to the store and buy an apple. Then have that someone cut it in pieces and give it to you.
Lucy: *shaking head* Dear friends, maybe you should go visit some of the other posts if you want a good recipe.
For our Mom, it was 7-Up and ice cream, made by her aunt and simply called a soda.

MJF loved apples, but strangely not us??! We do like carrots and some crunchy veggies.
Petcretary is not a soda drinker, at all, but when she was little. gingerale plain or with a fruity syrup added was a big treat!
She is allergic to colas…and to the dyes in some of the others…but its no loss to her as she wasn’t big on them…though sprite with ice cream was yummy when she felt hot…

Ha, ha, only dogs eat dirty socks! Our Mom says when she steams the asparagus then sautees it in butter until it just starts to brown, it’s really, really good.

Blueberries…mmmm. That’s my training treat. And me and Lucy eat the raspberries off the vines that sneak in through our chain link fence. Lucy gets the ones up high and I get the ones down low – teamwork!

Oooo, Mommy says she remembers the Nutty Buddy cone, and it ws soooooo good. We don’t know if a lot of things don’t taste the same, or if tasters change as peeps get older. It’s sorta like when Mom or Dad watch a really old TV show they loved (like The Munsters) and now think it is really awful, BOL!

You’re confused. An apple a day keeps the doctor away but has no effect on vets.
