I spent an hour looking at all of the photos on Color Wars 2008 - YOUNGME - NOWME. I love it! Members were asked to find a picture of themselves when they were very little and then try to recreate that pose and picture at their current age. People did an amazing job of recreating scenes - matching clothing, poses, and expressions.
One photo that stuck out for me was of user sublimecowgirl licking a beater. Licking the beater is something I've loved to do since I was kid. While I don't stare in a mirror while I do it, I imagine that I have the same child-like smile on my face as I did 20 years ago.
What childhood food can we still catch you devouring now?

Not that I have a problem with it, just interesting observation.

one thing i WILL say though, is that i DO eat a lot of foods that i DIDN'T get to eat as a kid - grilled cheese sandwiches and mac n cheese from a BOX. :)

But one unwittingly healthy thing my mom did when we were kids was cut these huge watermelons into giant 2-inch thick rounds, slap them on plates with spoons stuck in the middle like flagpoles on the moon, and tell us to "have at it." To this day I cannot pass a ripe watermelon without looking for one with just the right number of "sugar spots," taking it home, and "having at it" in the aforementioned ritual. Ahhhh.
