I'm craving buttered toast with cinnamon and brown sugar. Was the only sweet thing

[applegrove]

we had in the house growing up, with the exception of those fizzy vitamin C tablets and nestlé quick. I had those often too. I was desperate for something sweet after school as a kid. What did you nosh on after school as a kid?

1. Apparently we had the same mother!

We were not allowed pop or candy. We did get Fizzies and Wylers and fruit. Once in a great while chocolate milk but mostly it was cinnamon toast. No butter, oleo (blech) but better than nothing.

2. Oh yeah. We had fruit too. And dried apricots. We did have the same mum.

3. OMG, I had that craving about two weeks ago but we didn't get to use mom's brown sugar, it

was the white stuff for us but at least she knew better about the nasty margarine. We did have butter.

It's soooo gooood!

4. Anything that wasn't nailed down!

Actually my mother always cooked enough to have left overs for after school snacks...it was like a mini-din!

5. We had 8 kids at one time..

blended family. Not less than five.

After school with 5 oreos--store brand--and 8 kids, that was the real Thunderome. META didn't have anything on us. Last one standing got the prize.

I love peanut butter and honey, that's what my granny used to give me as something sweet. Unless it was after dinner then it was Bryers ice cream.

7. 8 kids? The fights must have been lengendary. We had four kids at our house. I was

mixing the batter for a cake one time. My sister dipped a finger in to get a taste. Then she started dipping all her other fingers in one after the other. I screamed for her to stop. She didn't. When she got to 10 licked fingers I picked up the bowl of chocolate cake batter and poured in over her head. LOL!

6. I get the same craving -- using Splenda (not as satisfying).

I was reintroduced to a nostalgic guilty pleasure my last stay in the hospital -- they gave
me a baby aspirin once daily and they were the orange chewable kind. I made sure they
separated them from my "pill cocktail" so that I could chew them and get that nostalgic
orange rush.

8. ah ...

sweet

9. Oh how I loved baby aspirin. I was always on the hunt for something sweet. My mom once caught me

going to kindergarden with a pocket full of sweet, chewable vitamins..... I was nice and wanted to share my find with all the other kids.

10. I love buttered toast with brown sugar...

my mom never put cinnamon on it...but she did make great cinnamon rolls using Bisquick, milk, butter, cinnamon and sugar. I still make them both today when I want something sweet.

Now, I'm dying for something sweet...I'm going to have to make brown sugar toast...will try the cinnamon.

Did anyone ever mix white Karo syrup with butter and eat with white bread? That was a real treat....



(Edited for typo (that DU's spell checker didn't catch...is sweek a word???)

11. it was a regular treat at my house, too

we were allowed very few sweets growing up, maybe a cookie or two from time to time. i don't really remember after school snacks as much as i do bedtime snacks

[BainsBane]

12. I would make my grandma's chocolate frosting recipe

and eat it like fudge. It was close to fudge in consistency. I had to make it because we never had any ready-made sweets around the house.

13. Cinnamon toast was a favorite-I particularly loved it with cocoa...Chocolate cinammon toast....

I also loved grilled buttered toast with scrambled eggs and ketsup. Haven't had it in decades (thnk God) but I did enjoy a fried peanut butter-banana sandwich a few years ago.

[applegrove]

14. Oh yeah. I just loved bacon, fried egg,

and ketchup sandwiches. I think I‘m going to have to have one on my day off.

[OriginalGeek]

15. Cinnamon toast was boss

Only we used white sugar...haven't had it in ages...now i want it...

[olddots]

16. Don't knock it till you try it

cinnamon ,what ever sugar you have and butter on rye toast . I was going to say we were so poor in my family I had to eat my sister when we got home from school .Lucky I didn't say that - because the DU Lounge is now officially Meta Dungeon .

17. A cup of coffee, heavy on the milk and sugar, starting in 4th grade

I used to come home from school with awful headaches and the coffee helped. I suspect the fluorescent lights triggered the headaches.

18. An avocado or an orange. We were big on fruit.

Buttered toast with cinnamon and sugar was my Saturday morning snack while watching cartoons.
