I remember ...

I remember laying in the grass for hours looking for four leaf clovers. Found a few. My mom kept them in the freezer for awhile.

Yes, me too! My mother pressed those few I found into a prayer book. She didn't realize how 'pagan' that seemed.`

I was just washing up the dishes earlier and out of nowhere I remembered eating egg in a cup when I was a kid...

It consisted of just one smashed up boiled egg in a cup with some butter and salt and nothing else... it was deeelicious....

That was breakfast when I stayed with a cousin when I was ten. That and a buttered hard roll. Yum!

hard roll.

I can't find hard rolls anymore.

I did a search and Kaiser rolls came up. I don't think they are are the same.

Found this under Connecticut hard roll.....
A Connecticut hard roll is a traditional type of roll with a chewy crust and a light, airy interior, similar to a Kaiser roll, often used for breakfast sandwiches like the popular pepper, egg, and cheese sandwich. While the term "hard roll" is common in the Northeast, particularly in areas like New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, it's important to note that the specific texture can vary depending on the bakery.

From Reddit....
I used to run a group of restaurants that offered various sandwiches on “hard rolls”, and sourcing them outside of New Haven and Fairfield counties was a nightmare.

My research led me to understand that hard rolls originated in New Haven county at the local Italian and Portuguese bakeries. They’re distinguished by the twisted, star-shaped scoring on top and a sprinkle of poppy seeds.

"rolls"

German people call them "Brötchen", which means little bread. But there are German dialects, as "Weckla" (Franconia), "Semmel" (Bavaria), "Schrippe" (Berlin) and so on.

Germany is the country of so many types of bread.
France is the country of a huge variety of cheese types, about 600.
Charles de Gaulle several decades ago said "How can you govern a country that has so many types of cheese?"

I can imagine that Germany has many different breads as we do here.. breads in the South are very different in many cases... from the breads and rolls in the North, and also in Scotland , Norgtern ireland and Wales.. .

As for France and their cheese, we have them beaten hands down, we have over 70 different varieties of Cheeses here...

I remember '74, it was the year that I first became engaged to a beautiful teenaged lady.

I can remember when I was a kid in Milwaukee, Wi. and we had to ride electric city buses. Every time it would cross an intersection the cables above it would spark.

Sub-par audio and visuals, either sitting outside getting eaten by mosquitoes or overheating in your car because you can't run the AC and having windows down will just let the mosquitoes in. Other vehicles sweeping their headlights across the screen. Smelling exhaust. People talking through the whole movie. Just loved going:

I loved drive in theaters! They are talking about building one a few miles down the road from me. Maybe they'll start to make a comeback. I don't miss having to use the toilet at the concession stands but I do miss smelling the warm night air. When we were kids, ours had a playground in front of the screen and we would play there until time for the movie.
