In the kitchen: Curried eggs on rice

This recipe came from an Hellman's Mayonnaise ad in the '60s. It is a delicious company recipe - very attractive too.

Curried Eggs on Rice

1 cup Hellman's Real Mayonnaise (substitutes make this a less-tasty but lighter dish - don't use Miracle Whip which is a salad dressing, not a mayonnaise)

1 cup dairy sour cream (or plain yogurt - again - lighter taste)

3 oz can of sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup milk

Gilbert says that "pure pleasure is not my cultural paradigm," explaining that she grew up in a family of hard workers who were not given to idleness.

It's difficult to explain to someone who didn't live through the 1980s just how quickly and completely Star Wars saturated our culture during that decade. All of my friends, male and female, had Star Wars action figures, lunch boxes, breakfast cereal, bed sheets, underpants, etc.

Heroes or mentors?

Every young child has his or her hero -- often a celebrity. That's okay...everyone needs a chance to dream. But at some point those heroes get moved to the back burner and a more realistic mentor/hero takes his or her place.
