GOOEY on Cracker
My mom made cookies, cakes, and pies when I was growing up. It was usually for a special occasion.
Once in awhile we would beg for something sweet after lunch. Baking was time consuming, so she would grab a bag of powdered sugar, add some rich cream and butter (from our Guernsey), and add some real vanilla.
She named it GOOEY on cracker. That was its name. We named things when I was a kid.
When I treated my own children to GOOEY on cracker, I didn't always make my own GOOEY. I would cheat and buy a can of frosting from the grocery store.
I had some leftover frosting today - and I couldn't help myself. I even took a bite before I took the picture.
All you need is graham crackers and frosting.

Then, I had to help make a recipe book in first grade for Mother's Day, a copy of which went to every mother.
All I knew how to make was freshly squeezed orange juice (not that we ever made any, just hypothetically).
The recipe called for one ingredient: oranges.
I prefer my gooey straight--no cracker.
Oh Kila... mee too. forget the crackers.
Patoote. yes.. and orange rind sometimes
Karmyn. seen the gooey faces
Amanda. Slap his hands
I LOVE that you named things...it makes them taste 10% better. Sometimes there's nothin' better than the taste of nostalgia :).
when I was a kid and we wanted somethng sweet, it would be a teaspoon of condensed milk! gawd I haven't tasted that in years!
Currently I'm trying not to dive right into the five boxes of girl scout cookies I bought from my coworker. Three days in my possession and I've already started on the mini-brownies, tag-a-longs, and thin-mints. Only a box of Samoas and another box of thin-mints remain unopened.
I just took a happy walk down memory lane, thank you :)
