Celebrities Favorite's Weird Candy Trivia Growing Candy.
Casserole and carry in dishes are used for every occasion from the birth of a new baby to the passing of a loved one.
They follow us through life, attending our picnics, our family reunions, our church get together, our summer holidays and winter's festive occasions. These covered dishes, our magic marker names scribbled on masking tape, declaring Tupperware ownership, are offered as a tribute to life's memories of important times.
Rarely do we contemplate the meanings of the "carry in dish", seemingly so unimportant in hurried lives, yet each of us can recall a favorite and, with fondness, remember the social occasion served.
That green bean casserole, with crunchy onion rings on top, arrives at almost every family reunion.
The colorful three bean salad, which makes an appearance at each and every picnic along side two or three different potato salads.
