You sound like a reasonable parent. These guidelines are more for the parents I’ve worked with who give their young children all the soda and juice they can drink.

I would love one of Luke’s burgers from Gilmore Girls.

Growing up, they were. Then I tried regular Pop Tarts around my teens and all I could taste was sugar.

Especially if you freeze them.

I’ve always preferred store-brand. It’s fruity without being too sweet.

I was too young to watch Twin Peaks when it came out, but I remember this performance on SNL. It mesmerized me and I would rewind the tape to watch it over and over again.

Do they think that olive oil somehow makes it healthier? You’re still dipping something in bread and and letting it absorb a ton of hot oil.

and parental permission should be required before schools can use corporal punishment

Lavender is so good if it’s done right! The coffee shop near me has the best lavender vanilla lattes.

Mac & cheese (boxed) mixed with hotdogs and topped with ketchup. 10-year-old me loved it and I still get nostalgic for it sometimes.

Fluffernutter sandwich! Top it with marshmallows and they get all brown and gooey with the peanut butter..mm.

Used to eat these all the time. Also Kraft singles on a peanut butter sandwich.

Yeah, it looked like it’s really changed its reputation compared to when I first moved down here. We’re waiting until my SO has some time off so we can visit Ciderworks (so good) and the meadery.

Kolache (pronounced kol-ASH-kee) I know it from MN, but I heard recently that TX has a big Polish population as well.

What about falling asleep on the couch for a few hours, then getting up and going to bed? Does that count as waking up during the night?

Card boxes, like those for Magic: the Gathering. All we wanted to do was play a few rounds when we got to our motel, but we got detained because of them.

Aw, I just bought a bottle of pizza sauce for some cast iron pizza this week. Thankfully, the recipe makes 2 crusts, so I’ll have to try this one next time.

If you don’t care about getting rich, you can upload pictures to hitrecord.org. It’s a collaborative art site so while you don’t know exactly how your art will be used, you know it’s for something good. It’s a lot of fun just contributing to different projects.
