 RH> Some people never outgrow their taste for kid food.

 JW> I started enjoying some childhood foods a second time

 RH> I still eat peanut butter

Messaging Nancy about my missionary cousins reminded me of their
tales of the peanut (along with other kinds of groundnuts) harvest
in Nigeria. The first day kids and adults alike gorged on boiled
nuts, day two was roasted nuts and day three was peanut butter at
every meal, including peanut sauce for meat dishes. By day four
everyone was sick of them in every form. Not unlike people who pick
berries commercially or work in chocolate factories.

 RH> The breakfast cereal gets eaten without the milk, straight out
 RH> of the box.

How primitive! [g] My version involves 1 part cream, 3 parts milk,
and some kind of fruit plus maybe coconut or almond flakes.

 RH> I don't think I could get Chef Boyardee down even with hot
 RH> sauce.

You exaggerate. It is perhaps mediocre but not outright disgusting.
And at 99 cents a can, a very inexpensive, quick lunch at on office
which only has a microwave to cook with. Obviously homemade is
vastly superior.

  I'd use ground pork not turkey, some of the fat rendered out of
  the meats, not cooking spray and add a little hot sauce or ground
  chilies. - JW
