Did anyone else grow up calling margarine "oleo", or is it jus t me?
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My mom calls it that. A lot of recipes I get from her have it as an ingredient.

I didn't call it oleo, but my grandmother did.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, my grandmother too.

I know my when my mother was young, the margarine was white and they stirred in the yellow dye themselves.
My mom remembers it came in a bag with a capsule and you'd break the capsule and knead the color into the margarine.
Which is really funny when you consider that she grew up on a farm that raised DAIRY COWS.
Thanks for the restaurant reccs. I just eat out so infrequently, it is as if I'm blind to their existance. Sort of like when msbelle asked me where the nearest Starbucks was in my hood and I had no freaking clue. And there are at least 3, maybe 4 within 2 miles. I just never registered them before.

My mom called it Oleo. That's a WWII phrase, I think.

sara, heads up - I'll want to know where there's a Dunkin Donuts AND a Baskin Robbins. Good thing you've got the BK all scoped out.
My boss is leaving early. WHEE! And then out the next 3 days.

You know-- being raised by grandparents who were born in the 1910's really makes me sound old! I also said "ashcans" for metal trash cans, "davenport" for sofa, and "dungarees" for jeans.

It makes you sound like Mr. Burns.

Actually, I don't know if the one nearest me will be open yet. They tore it down and are putting in a new one.
DD right up the road. And there is one of those DD/BR co-stores not much furhter (I only noticed that because so WEIRD.)
