Legging Love

I don’t know what got into me, but I bought two pairs of leggings in the last week. The chocolate brown ones you see to the left, and also a pair of sheer black ones (I can pretend I’m Madonna with those ones). I have friends who think I’m insane to wear leggings. They see me wearing them, think back to junior high school and shudder.
It got me thinking about shudder foods from the 80s. Remember the burger McDonald's had where the two halves of the burger were kept separate? Apparently, this was so the side with the lettuce and tomato stayed cool while the side with the beef patty stayed hot. I also remember Jello Pudding Pops. And Pillsbury Pizza Pops. It was also the decade that the microwave was introduced into my family’s kitchen. It came with cookbooks on microwave cooking. I still remember the recipe for Spanish Potatoes. My parents use that same microwave – twenty years later. It’s huge. Though today, it’s mostly used to heat up leftovers and to make popcorn.
