Ms OC and I had lunch today at the Crab Trap in Somers Point. I was sad to find that they no longer put out oyster crackers and horseradish. I used to love munching on them while waiting for our food.

Salt on watermelon
Pepper on cantaloupe

The expression "Taylor Ham" is a North Jersey thing. They also call ground beef "chopped meat"

When I was a kid, my mother used to make little patties out of left-over mashed potatoes and brown them in a frying pan. I loved them. I have tried to make them myself, but they get soft and runny. Does anyone know the proper way to prepare mashed potato patties?

I will second chips on a tuna salad sandwich. I would take them to school back in the 50's. The chips had to be seperate until ready to eat or they would get soggy.

I was not allowed to leave the table until my liver was gone. Luckily, my place at the table was next to the window, so when I was the last one left, out the window went the liver. I bet the neighborhood cats loved it when we had liver!

When I cut up chicken wings, I usually save and freeze the tips to throw in with the carcass when I make stock.
