had Baked Beans & Franks(or Beanie-Weinies)!Also had hot dogs split down the middle w/cheese & bacon wrapped around them.Yum!Hotdogs tasted so much better back then,well to me anyway.Nowadays they have a funky taste to them,but thats probably just my taste buds!We considered those a treat,my mom considered them "fast food",ha!Or we would have really good frozen fish sticks,crinkle cut fries,spinach & macaroni & cheese.(On Friday nights).
On Saturday nights we would load up the station wagon with our pillows & blankets & a cooler filled with orange,grape & strawberry Nehi soda pop in the bottles, that my Dad would get that morning at the local "Pop Dock" .(Pop tasted so much better in the bottles!)The entree to our meal would either be "Kens"pizza or Old Fashioned Steak Burgers with Fries.Or we might hit A&W for coneys & onion rings ,with that it would be a gallon of root beer & a gallon of orange slush oh yum!On to the Drive In we would proceed to catch the newest movie releases,oh & I cant forget dessert...It would be Pecan Sandies & bananas that were still slightly green & still firm.
Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories Gina! Mickey p.s.I might have to pick up some ice cream at the grocery store today.I have a hankering for a strawberry float!Were you brought up on strawberry pop poured over really good vanilla ice cream?I havent had one for years & it sounds so good right now.
