Ashleigh, Are you thinking of the desert called "Junket"?

I think it was a rennant concoction. I loved it as a child. I had friends that called it Danish desert. It came in a box like jello or pudding.


Banana Junket Rennet Custard was one of my favorite childhood desserts. YUM!

 My mom told us if we walked barefoot through puddles after a storm we might get polio.  This was in the late 50's.  Anyone else told this?

We were told we'd get polio if we drank from the garden hose.

About 20 years ago, my husband and I had the most amazing experience. We stayed at his former student's estate outside of Glasgow Scotland. I needed my handbag, which I had left upstairs in the bedroom where we were staying. I said I needed my purse and my husband's former student said he'd get it for me. When he returned he had gone into my handbag and returned with my wallet...to him a purse. I said nothing and later went upstairs for my handbag.
