Mind you, all this discussion may have started with space food sticks,
but I find myself thinking about other memory-foods.  Tuna fish
sandwiches made -just so-, with hard-boiled egg and celery in the salad
for more texture and a little crunch, and sweet pickle relish if we had
it, on squishy-fresh white bread with mayonnaise. Leftover Thanksgiving
turkey in pieces on leftover dinner rolls with butter, and sometimes a
little cranberry sauce (my sister Patty's innovation).  Cornbread
crumbled into milk -- my Dad's favorite.  Or fried-egg sandwiches as a
snack after dinner because Dad was hungry, therefore everyone should
eat.  Six (no more, no less) Oreo cookies with milk before bedtime.
 German Chocolate cake, made from scratch (my grandmother's recipe).
 Cucumbers and cream salad -- the one decent thing my stepmother made --
well, okay, her various Polish pastries were pretty good, and she made a
damn good banana pudding.  Fried chicken before everyone discovered
Shake n' Bake.

I was lucky; I had my own TV in my room by then, but black-and-white only.
