Every once in a while I do something so oddly and singly nostalgic that my husband thinks I'm crazy and my children think I'm the coolest creature to have ever roamed the planet. (Isn't that the essence of nostalgia? It's because it was cool when we were kids?) There's no cooler invention than something the color of Pepto-Bismol and the flavor of pink cake icing. Strawberry Quick, a single box for as long as I can remember--because we were only allowed on rare occasions--nestled in the tallest shelf in a cabinet in the kitchen of the house I grew up in. The box had a little recipe card printed on the back with cool Quick idea number 67 or something, and said it would be awfully tasty if I put Strawberry Quick on my buttered toast in the morning, and challenged me to send in my own interesting Strawberry Quick recipe ideas. I don't think I ever tried either, but I always loved a cup of pink milk.
I had a hard time taking this picture because I kept drinking all the milk and me drinking from an empty glass is kind of weird. My tummy is a little full now, but I'm pleased with my bedtime treat and my photo.
