I've never understood the Jell-O thing. Aspics should never have made it out of the 18th century.

Everyone in my family still makes my late mom's "baked corn" "casserole," which still triggers my gag reflex.
I appreciate the cheap ingenuity, though.

I'd do it, now that I'm back in New England, but my Oakland, CA-native kids don't like citrus.

I'm a Xennial, apparently, but both sets of grandparents had working dairy farms. Both grandmothers cooked and baked constantly.

My family still put oranges in our Christmas stockings, a tradition I had to explain repeatedly when I moved out of New England.
Californians, generally, do not put citrus in stockings. 🤣

I vividly recall begging my mom to buy Red Delicious apples instead of Granny Smiths or Macs.
My children wouldn't eat a Red "Delicious" with a gun to their heads. There are SO MANY better apples now!
