I loved reading this! Where did you get this list? Someday when I have time I'd like to go through and comment on my experiences.
Oh, and don't you remember having caviar in Mrs. Rickleff's 3rd grade class? We ate it on saltine crackers. That was such a memorable experience that I did it for my class one year. :)
Now that you reminded me, I do! I found this on another blog I was reading. It was fun to reflect and comment. :)
