When I was 7 months pregnant taking a grade 9 class on an overnight hiking trip, I took banana nut bread, peanut butter and fruit for breakfast knowing as a staff member how busy mornings can be and knew I needed something quick and portable in case I didn’t get to eat and honestly I was struggling so much with morning sickness. One of the dad’s saw my bread sitting on the counter and started criticizing who’s parents allowed their child CAKE for breakfast. The other male teacher was telling him with his eyes. Shut up! Shut up! 😂 Then says very supportively, The 7 month pregnant one! She can eat what she wants! The poor dad was backpedaling and apologizing and stuttering. I brought a half loaf knowing that some of my students may not have breakfast and therefore I could share. I still love banana bread.

In Canada it's still standard and most dinner type places have it on the table, fast food places all have little packets of it too for your food. Most people use it on fries, hash, that type of stuff 🥰 Also my partner is Indonesian and he makes a spicy dip that's just white Vinegar with chillies and spices soaked in, sometimes adds some Kejep or something to it as well. I think it's nice how for our very different cuisines have our own version of the same thing (and we both use both plain vinegar and the spicy version now depending on what we're eating, I converted him to the dark side of acidic fries and he got my spice tolerance to a good level LOL)

Do you remember "friendship bread"? Breakfast breads (as opposed to coffeecake, etc.,) used to be a thing, and your recipe is definitely one of them. Also; the chicken may have been meant to be extra for leftovers. "Budget homemaking" was a big thing, and cooking early in the week and multipurposing leftovers was very common. "Friendship bread" is so called because it's a "starter" bread, and you're supposed to share your starter; if you don't, you end up with a freezer full of bread that you then have to try to give away. The starter had fruit and sugar in it, but there wasn't a whole lot of additional sugar added.

This hit me so hard cuz you used the green plates that my granny had! All of the best meals of my life came on those plates. My aunt had the orange/yellow ones you have. My dad loves that carrot salad. That man eats an obscene amount of mayo every month. Has anyone else ever had frozen mixed veggies with a spoonful of mayo instead of butter? It's actually amazing. I love your decade for a day series. I appreciate your take on the chicken. I was watching Ree Drummond and she made a spicy entree, a spicy side, then a spicy sauce. No! One of those needs to be a cooling or calming dish. Meals should be a mix of textures and flavors and not all one thing. I think that chicken would have been great with a creamy or cheesy carb side. Or a flavorful rice pilaf, something like that.

My Mom made the hot dogs covered with left over mashed potatoes and cheese then in the oven . We loved them!! i made them when my kids were little. We never put a hot dog on top . Oh and I'm a child of the 60's......

I also like the smell of buttermilk. The taste in and of itself... not so much. My dad will actually drink glasses of buttermilk. That grossed out the rest of the family, blech!

My dad was the kid of a German immigrant and grew up on a farm/ranch so he drank buttermilk and I learned to love it from him. It’s funny that people who will eat yogurt don’t realize the buttermilk is very similar, just slightly different lactobacilli profile to get that tanginess.

I actually think your cutting from the middle of the loaf is brilliant! 😄 Your carrot salad is missing one vital ingredient… peanut butter! Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it, y’all. 😁 With the addition of the peanut butter, the peanuts are not required. Otherwise, the ingredients are the same. Carrot salad is still one of the salads from my childhood that I love the most, and still make to this day.

😮Those beans look nice too! All these vintage recipes are always so tasty looking and full of easy to get ingredients and less than 20 steps to make 😅maybe I'm watching the wrong things but I swear all the popular cooking vids especially short form have loads of expensive ingredients, a million steps and take an hour to prep

born in 1960, never had tang until !was 17. I drank tomato juice or V-8 for breakfast when I had breakfast. I started drinking orange juice when I was 40 and diluted the juice with water. Half and half, it's the only way to drink orange juice.

My mama used to make me something similar to the hotdog s’mores. She’d fry slice of bologna ’til it curled, then plopped in some mashed ‘taters, topped with cheese and broiled until the cheese was bubbly.

I remember when Tang came on the market, with a big advertising campaign that touted how it was created for the space program for the astronauts to take on the Apollo missions. This was a big deal in the 60's and the kids in my family were very excited when my American aunt bought some for us.

I remember the first time I had tang. My mom never bought it, she thought it was too expensive, but my cousins from Virginia were visiting and they apparently had it with breakfast every morning so my grandmother made sure to have it on hand for them. We got to have a sleepover and I think I was more excited about the tang than anything else. Woke up to a full breakfast spread, waffles, sausage, bacon, eggs, oatmeal, and fresh strawberries with whipped cream. All served alongside the longed for, pleaded for, always requested tang. I hated it. I thought it was nasty, I was devastated. In my mind I had built it up to be this most amazing thing, and it really didn't meet my expectations. I didn't drink tang again for years, probably not until I was an adult. I still didn't like it.

Buttermilk is awesome if you have chicken you want to fry. Doesn’t matter if you’re making homemade tenders, nuggets, or fried chicken. Soak your chicken in buttermilk, and it will be nice and tender, and add extra flavor.

This is almost exactly like a recipe I got from a 1980 Air Force Wives cook book, it is named Butterscotch Walnut Bread. I half the amount of butter and add 1/4 C applesauce to cut the fat since I am going to butter that bread up! Yum!

Awesome video! First.. during the breakfast portion of the video, the grey shirt and your glasses look absolutely fantastic on you!! Grey looks so good on you! The music you chose at 14:15 is soo perfect! :) I love the way you explain the flavors of the recipe because I was doubting the peanuts in the carrot salad until you said they added a nice salty crunch, .. and I thought ooooohh, yeah ok - salty from the peanuts, sweet from the carrots and raisins.. now I want to try making it that way (along with the hotdog smores!). As usual, your videos are so great and I look forward to every single one you put out there. I appreciate all the thought, time, and hard work you put into them to make them entertaining and informative for all of us.

You are right, the idea of the plain herb buttered chicken is good except for one detail...the chicken skin. You just end up seasoning the skin which doesn't get crispy due to foil packet. Those green beans! I've been doing similar for years... frozen green beans in covered skillet, when almost cooked (your preferred level) add a couple tablespoons of any Italian dressing and then some parmesan or goat cheese. Get fancy and throw on some slivered almonds. So quick and easy and they reheat really well for leftovers. Great episode and thanks for the content.
