8. Wow!

Brown bread! I haven't had that in decades. I remember it came in a CAN. Yes, bread in a can.

10. I had a colleague from Austria who absolutely despised "American Bread"

I gave him a can of B&M Brown Bread as a gag gift for his birthday

And yes..

He gagged..

"Bread...in a can!!!1111 - blahhhh bluhhh blaaaaahhh!!!!"

9. I was not allowed to leave Palmer Station Antarctica until I gave my Maine baked bean recipe

To the station manager.

I made a batch of veggie bean (olive oil and salt) and and a batch of bacon seasoned beans (no salt pork!) for the whole station on Sunday nights.

(the cook's day off)

Both batches were gone within seconds of the intercom all-call..."Beans are Ready!"

I had to hide bowls of it for people who were working and couldn't make it to the Galley in time

Made homemade brown bread in a huge coffee can too...(took a couple of tries because it was soooo big)

yum

12. I used to make that

When I moved from New England to NJ and missed New England.

I even baked my own brown bread in a can. But oh, homegrown beans. Never have done that and would like to, but that would require a lot of beans and I was never disciplined enough to plant that many, gather them, and shell them.

Brings back memories.

5. Brazilian Steakhouse marinaded NY Strip

Corn on the cob, greens beans, pretzel rolls, and loaded twice-baked potatoes. For dessert, strawberry shortcakes (cheating by using desert shells) and possibly a cookies-n-cream homemade Jell-O popsicle.
