Well, there's a family theme here.. popcorn for the win. Made on the stove. We have a completely separate popcorn pan that's pretty much black with burned on whatever. We now have a giant purple bowl for popcorn- I must refute Annie's claim that said bowl was also used as the "throw up bowl" even though I do believe in multi purpose uses for household items..The yellow bowl you reference, Lisa, was indeed also used as an infant bathtub so I guess our Mom believed in that as well. Straight on butter and salt though I don't turn down other varieties.

Yes, multi-purpose. Lol! You have to be careful about what bowl is designated as the "throw up bowl." Haha!

A memory I am very fond of is making a pop-corn bowl for him after washing supper dishes when he sat on his rocking couch in the living room to watch TV mostly every workday evening —along with a big glass of grape juice blended frozen from a can. He showed me how to make it the way he liked it.

We also had the big tupperware bowl growing up and often enjoyed popcorn in it - it also functioned as the puke bucket when any of us were sick! lol

I usually go for a bowl of cereal or goldfish crackers. Both are nostalgic and comforting!

LOL! I don't really buy cereal (other than granola). What cereal do you go for?

Favorite food is so often tied to good memories. I laughed when I read about the huge yellow bowl-we had one too.

I never eat in the middle of the night. If I get up at that time it’s usually out of anxiety etc so I’ll make myself “a cuppa”. Lavender -camomile seems to do the trick.
