I saw this over at Soozs's--if you're reading, consider yourself tagged. Give us a list of your childhood favorites:
Favorite special treat food - Hot tea with milk and sugar and crumbled up milk crackers (another regional food, I discovered over the winter. My mom shipped me two boxes of milk crackers as I couldn't find them in New Mexico at all!).
Favorite real food - Spinach. Corned beef hash a la my gramp's recipe.
Favorite thing to wear - In middle school I had this peasant-style blouse and skirt that I adored.
Favorite place to go - The library. Libraries in the neighboring towns were an extra-special treat!
Favorite person - My father. I'm a daddy's girl through and through.
Favorite event/occasion - My birthday!
Favorite pet - Norman. I loved him so much I wanted to marry him. He died when I was 12, and it was as though the world had ended. He was the best cat evah!
Favorite thing to do - I loved to read. I also liked to take my father's White Owl cigar boxes, have him cut a hole in either side and create a mini movie theater. I would tape strips of paper together to make the film, then draw on the movies. Geez, thinking about it makes me want to make one right now!
Favorite TV show - As a little girl I was a fan of Captain Kangaroo and Romper Room. I liked Star Trek (yes, I had a secret crush...try to guess on which character!) and later Charlie's Angels.
Favorite book - No Flying in the House. Little House on the Prairie. Wrinkle in Time.
oooh-I love a Wrinkle in Time

No Flying in the House is one of the best books in the entire world!

Little House on the Prairie -- I read every book in that series! And I spent hours and hours in the library all through childhood. It was a great place.

Yay for Little House on the Prairie! I was named after Ma & Baby Carrie. Caroline/Carrie = Carolynn/Cari.

What a great idea. I've posted my childhood favourites on my blog and hopefully passed it on.
