Crepes! My sister and I called them "skinny pancakes." So delicious. I'm 43 and still ask my Mom to make them for me when I see her.

i think it was a similar situation. if i remember correctly, my mom had gotten into the habit of making meatloaf on mondays. now my dad and brother didn't like meatloaf anyway, so it didn't take many of those monday meatloaves for them to have enough of it.
i think you're right!
i don't bother to freeze my (extra) meatloaf, i always use it for meatloaf sandwiches. i love meatloaf sandwiches even more than i love fresh hot meatloaf!

My mom made the best meatloaf. I always bake mine in the oven, in a regular loaf pan with an insert to drain the fat. Mom made her meatloaves in the morning and stuck them in the fridge. Then in the afternoon, she heated up her electric skillet and put the loaves in the skillet to cook. About 90 minutes or so at 350 degrees. And those puppies never fell apart either....she had the knack for a delicious meatloaf. I loved it. There were five of us, so she always had to make two. My dad would take a meatloaf sandwich in his lunch the next day....he loved my mom's meatloaf. I wish I could make it like she did.

I've made meatloaf just for the sandwiches. I haven't made one in ages though. DD doesn't really like it plus she's hardly ever here and now I no longer eat meat. DH adored meatloaf
There are times when I will make meatloaf for dinner, just because of enjoying meatloaf sandwiches afterward!Big, thick hunks of meatloaf, two slices of bread, slathered with mustard. Oh man. Yum.

i've never tried a meatloaf sandwich with mustard. i do love mustard though! i've always made my meatloaf sandwiches with a little margarine spread on both pieces of bread -- that way the meatloaf sticks to the bread/stays put while i'm eating the sandwich! that's the way my mom always made her meatloaf sandwiches, so probably why i make mine the same.

i feel the same way about my mom's macaroni and cheese. mom made hers from scratch, no velveeta, and it was just divine...in a round casserole dish, and the top got kind of...'firmer', but not dry-dry. i always squirted ketchup over my serving. i would eat the leftover mac'n'cheese cold with ketchup too!
I know, a lot of things I remember as a kid and mention nowadays are never heard of!
When I was a kid, we used to eat Mrs Paul's fish cakes. They were also frozen and so good. I emailed them about them a couple a years ago and the rep that replied said that they had been discontinued a long time ago. So long ago that she had never heard of them.
I remember growing up with a lot of Table Talk Pies and loaves of fresh white bread with a lot of our suppers. When my Dad would come home from work, my mother would send him down to the store for a nice freash bread to go with supper. He would very often not resist buying a Table Talk pie. However, we were not so pleased when he found a prune-filled pie, (not our favorite) but he was so happy. Was his favorite. I can still taste how fresh the bread was. Nowadays, I hardly buy a loaf of bread like this.
I even remember taking a tour with our Brownie troop of the Table Talk pie factory and it was amazing!
I remember Table Talk pies!! They are still around http://www.tabletalkpie.com/home.htm

I also used to LOVE Chef Boyardee roller coasters. Anyone remember those?
Another old friend was Ebinger's blackout cake.
One food combo I love now is chicken salad sandwich on pumpernickel bread, with muenster cheese, lettuce, dill pickle and COLE SLAW!
My mother would also make for dessert something called Jello-1-2-3 and I loved it. You shook up the jello mixture, put it into glasses and it settled into three distinct delicious layers. I LOVED it!
Another combo I liked was my mother frying up thin egg noodles with ketchup!
I'm glad you know the Table Talk pies!! I see their small pies many places, but we have not had the big pies around here for a long time. I have never seen Ebinger's products, but that cake does sound good!

I also remember the Jello 1-2-3. I also remember mom using Dream Whip in different desserts. I think they still make that stuff.
I only remember the small TT pies. They had big ones?
Oh yes, the 8-9 inch pie was seen more commonly when I was a kid than the small ones. I think because maybe, all of the big supermarkets are now making their own "homemade" pies for sale in the market bakeries. I never remember special bakery sections in supermarkets like today. Most of breads and treats were from regional vendors.

Oh geez, I remember Jello 123. I don't recall my mother ever using it, but RIck's mom did. Rick's mom made Junket, too, kind of like a custard, I think. Rick really liked it. Dream Whip, too; there used to be a cake made with Dream Whip that, as I recall, was pretty darn good. I'm going to look for Dream Whip next time we hit the grocery store.
Does anybody remember Blend? It was a citrusy drink that came in a large can. Rick lived on that stuff when he was a kid. His mom had it all the time for them. She also made her own root beer with the Hires extract. It wasn't bad stuff.
Rick's mom also had a a lot of Chef Boy ar Dee pizza mixes in her pantry. They were considered a treat. Rick never had store-bought pizza, just the mix. He never had actual home-made pizza til he married me. I never, ever had a slice of pizza until I married Rick and his mom made a pizza mix one night.
I've never heard of a Table Talk pie. Was it just like a commercial-type pie in various flavors. Big? Small? That sounds interesting. Nor have I heard of Ebinger's products. Are they still around? I have heard of blackout cake....that's the really, really chocolatey cake, right? Originated in New York? I have recipes for blackout cake, but never made one.

The Table Talk pies I remember were the small ones. I've never seen a large one. They were sole in grocery stores. This is what I remember when I think of TT. They were usually like 2/$1.50 or so
Ebinger's was a NYC institution. Their blackout cake was amazing and I only remember the ones that popped up back in the grocery stores in the mid 80's. I'm not a cake person and I loved it. If that wasn't as good as the original, that tells you something about how good it must have been.
