ChildHood

I recently had a flash back to when I was a child.

I remember my grand mother used to purchase carnation evaporated milk by the truck loads, and with every can she would cut out the labels(proof of purchase) and send them to some P.O.Box and get a free Carnation CookBook.

Every weekend she enlisted me and everyone else who was in the house to partake in the preparation of every recipe she can make in a two day weekend.

I think the best recipes she made were fudge, brownies, coconut tarts & coconut drops.

I cant say that those were great days because as a child I hated having to mix stuff, and now I think that even though it was a bit hard it still prepared me as an adult to understand the basics of baking and cooking etc.
