I DO remember my FIRST real peach, post war, and also some years later, being introduced by older more sophisticated friends to REAL spaghetti (the kind in the 3 foot long!blue wrapper), wonderful, as opposed to the indescribable “I refuse to disgust the reader” stuff in tins that we had on Wed. evenings. However, when trauma does set in, occasionally, I still resort to UK Heinz Baked Beans on toast washed away by a large ancient single Malt!
Sorry for confusion! In my book TG = Thank (the Lord!) but I’m afraid I still talk about “boots” and “bonnets” . You can turn the Brit into an American, but you cant get the Brit out of the American!!!
I apologize. Living in a kind of bubble here. Cars: the "boot" is the "trunk" and the "bonnet" is the "hood". I am still learning, TG😃 Will try to do better! But havent been able to take a walk on the sidewalk in a while!
Not TG, Maggie. How lucky you were with the candy - my cousins ate theirs!

I thought TG stands for "Thanks, Goddess!" Is that wrong?
Well I was way off - thought Mary got my name wrong! Does that show how behind the time I am??

Are the boots and bonnets clothing or cars?
