First, I want to thank everybody for sharing your stories. It was great hearing about all your meat pies, Reese’s sandwiches (yes, chocolate/peanut butter on toast!), Campbell’s soup concoctions, rice pudding, beef stews, homemade sausage, and growing-up-on-the-farm stories. These were just awesome!
It’s funny how certain foods can take you right back to childhood. Some of these meals may not have been fancy, but they were made with what Mom had on hand, and they left us with memories that have lasted a lifetime. Thanks for taking us all down memory lane. We loved reading every one of them!
And…
Congratulations to @socalmike and @dakotagal! Your heartfelt stories were randomly chosen as our winners for the Look What I Grew Up With contest.
Thank you both for sharing a little piece of your childhood with us!
Please keep an eye out for an email from a member of The Gutter team.
Remember when Mom could turn a pound of hamburger, a bag of noodles, and a seasoning packet into a dinner for four? No fancy ingredients, no cooking shows, just basic home cooking.
You all remember our mom was famous for her McCormick or Lawry seasoning packet dinners. Always fond memories though. Especially spaghetti. Anytime I would come home, she would always have spaghetti simmering on the stove. The aroma was heart felt. I remember always sneaking spoonfuls of sauce before dinner.
Now it’s your turn!
Share a picture OR tell us it about a favorite childhood meal that brings back memories. Doesn’t have to be homemade or pretty! And be honest… Was it really that good or is it just a great memory of being at home at the table with the family.
One randomly selected participant will win some Gutter merch! Contest and Friday, November 6th.
Let’s see what we all grew up eating!
Mark dragged down his Chewbacca from upstairs and wore his favorite mask for Halloween. No negativity surprisingly…. ! He did, however, pay a visit to the liberal house next door and repeatedly yelled, “You’re fired! You’re fired! You’re fired!” I think they actually enjoyed it.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
A stranger was seated next to Little Johnny on the plane when the stranger turned to the Little Johnny and said ...
"Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger...
"What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know how about nuclear power?"
"OK that could be an interesting topic...
But let me ask you a question first."
"A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
"Jeez, I have no idea."
"Well, then," said Little Johnny, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"
Evenin.
First "Funday" post election. We are made in the image of our Creator, and therefore I always thought that God must have a sense of humor. Trying to think if he thinks the last election was funny?
Oh, well...with no further ado...Fun.
God...I didn't realize there were 8 trans "women" in Congress, all Democrats of course.
