Talk about mayonnaise stirs up memories. I remember back to when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Such a long time ago but some memories stick with me no matter how old I get. I would be tucked in bed, prayers said, kisses and hugs given, lights out, and then it would hit...the hankering would get the best of me every night.

I can only imagine how my sisters must have groaned when they heard my plea...coming from this little one tucked in bed. I wanted a mayonnaise sandwich! Nothing else but mayonnaise on bread. Mom would usually delegate my bedtime craving request to one of my older sisters who would make it for me and bring it to me in bed. Today, I think how awful it would be to sleep on crumb covered sheets but it didn't bother me one bit back then.

To this day I savor the memory of how good that simple sandwich tasted. I'm laughing because it wasn't mayonnaise but Miracle Whip and to this day, unless a recipe specifically calls for real mayo, I use Miracle Whip.

Yum!
