Comment by Dallas the Phallus on November 12, 2012 at 9:38pm: Never made chains from clovers, but sucked on honeysuckle flowers as a kid, too.

Comment by Tony Carroll on November 12, 2012 at 9:37pm: Bacon. I'm with you there, Dallas. Bacon IS one of the four major food groups, don'tcha know. Along with beer, cheese, and chocolate.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on November 12, 2012 at 9:32pm: I like pistachio salad, too. Totally crappy junk food. Artificial everything. But I still like it.

I went to a party once and someone made something like a deviled egg wrapped in crisp bacon. It was like a mouthgasm.

Comment by booklover on November 12, 2012 at 9:29pm: Love deviled eggs. Also, pistachio (fluff) salad. Real American Picnic food. lol

Comment by booklover on November 12, 2012 at 9:27pm: Tony we made chains out of clovers :)

Comment by Tony Carroll on November 12, 2012 at 9:27pm: Deviled eggs. Got my moms old recipe, and it is good!

Comment by Tony Carroll on November 12, 2012 at 9:25pm: Behind your ear, Dallas. Or we could make lei's or daisy chains like when we were kids.

Comment by booklover on November 12, 2012 at 9:24pm: Behind your ear Dallas! I make great potato salad!~ Melinda

Comment by Tony Carroll on November 12, 2012 at 9:21pm: Yes! A potluck picnic! How wonderful (and no dishes to wash, lol).

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on November 12, 2012 at 9:20pm: Eating off leaves? You must really not like to do dishes! : ) And I'm bald, so where do I put my flower?
