I grew up in Greensboro, but somehow was never exposed to the whole peanuts-in-coke phenomenon. As for pickles, I've always wanted to try making a batch with these:

I am assuming that is some kind of new-fangled cucumber, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that. In my opinion, those things belong in the same category of those funny-colored tomatoes Pappy was talking about.
(No offense, Aeolius -- I'm sure they taste wonderful. In fact, since other forum members have pointed out that I am not ashamed to beg for food, I would be glad to taste pickles made from weird-looking cucumbers or whatever they are.)
My mother used to make watermelon rind pickles when I was growing up, and I loved them. We'd eat the inside, make pickles out of the outside, save some of the seeds for next year, and use the rest of them for a spitting contest -- no use letting anything go to waste!
You have not lived until you've had your face "washed" with a piece of watermelon rind. (Brothers used to do that to me too -- after they smacked me in the head with a couple of maters!)

BTW, I'm glad you joined me, Aeolius. After all that work I did just to get to page 500, I was kind of expecting a party or a cake or at least a congratulations or a pat on the back.
I was starting to feel kind of foolish -- kind of like when it's your birthday and you fling open the door, expecting everyone to yell "Surprise!" and nobody's there.

That is a very astute observation, Steve-o. Youngest and only girl. Living in Oak Ridge was different back then. I couldn't run next door and play with the other little girls in my neighborhood. There weren't any other little girls -- in fact, there wasn't even a neighborhood! So I just had to make the best of it.
You wouldn't believe the abuse I had to withstand. But like that old saying goes, whatever doesn't kill you will make you tougher. (What?  My brothers might be reading this? Just kidding..... )

Hey How do you like my new modem? Do I look better? My son kindly came and hooked it up for me else I end of screaming at the techies at Bell South.
Sandra I am begining to understand you more and more as you post. Your poor brothers knew that you never did any chores because not only were you the yongest but you also were a girl. According to my children growing up their youngest brother not only never did anything but he was also the favorite child. Your brothers were just paying you back and you know about pay back.

| Just got my SYC cookbook and it is great! Best $16.00 you will spend and such a good cause. I got my at Sheila Williams store in the old shopping center in Summerfield but I am sure there are other places. Would make great presents for Christimas. Good receipts in it.

I don't know about you, Cracker, but I am personally glad that I have "come out of the kitchen" to let people know my true thoughts about tomato and banana sandwiches. Actually it is quite liberating.
Well, Sandra, it was a shock to be sure the way you just came outta the kitchen at us, but I'm glad you cared enough about our feelin's to share such a empowerin' moment with the rest of us. I think I understand yer problem better now. I see you're tryin' to come to grips with yer feelin's toward some concoctions called "tomato and banana sandwiches", whatever they are. Pappy cain't offer you much he'p with such as that, but maybe the Oprah Book Club may have a voyage o' self discov'ry book that would suit you.
Meanwhile, what us connoisseurs o' fine dinin' are discussin' an' peacefully enjoyin' is "mater an' nanner sammiches", sometimes referred to as Food of the Gods. Sometimes it's confusin' to people who don't know any better.
Come to think on it, dependin' on which demographic du joir ol' Oprah's tryin' to pretend to be one of this time, she may actually have a "book" about mater an' nanner sammiches. But I wouldn't trust it any more than I would trust a se'f he'p book called "Breathing: In and Out or Out and In? Why You Need to Take a Stand and Let People Know!"

Goodness Gracious! Lots went on while I was gone....
I went out to a fancy restaurant too Pappy! There weren't any mater or nanner sammiches anywhere on the menu! And the coke was peanut free!
Gotta congrat all the milestones that occurred while I was out on the town!
