My dad taught me to break up graham crackers into a glass and pour in the milk. I never thought it was odd until I started getting looks from people. I also prefer my fries dipped in Arby’s Horsey Sauce. I know its just mayo with some horseradish, but I love it. Better than ketchup. ---

**Fenris.** Boiled custard is reason #9 I moved back south, because I can’t ever find it north or west of Tennessee. I don’t have a recipe, but it’s generally available from Thanksgiving through the New Year at Kroger stores, sometimes Publix. The dairy manager can special order some the same time s/he restocks on regular egg nog. ---

I’ve gotten strange looks from people who see me putting peanut butter in my oatmeal or applesauce on my pancakes. ---

It’s cream cheese, onion, drained tuna, mayo all mixed together. Served on a bagel with cheddar cheese. People are usually disgusted at first, but after they try it, they really like it. ---
