It would never have occurred to me to write about drinks, or a drink that I had in my childhood. However, after reading the questions above, I realize I do have some memories of childhood drinks that I could write about.

Have you ever drank powdered milk? If not, let me tell you a little bit about it. You scoop some of the powder into a pitcher or glass, add water, stir, and just like that, you have milk…or, what is said to be milk. What does it taste like? Glad you asked. It has a thin, watery consistency, and a pretty bad taste. I was introduced to this unpleasant milk while living in a children’s home when I was 12 years old. It was anything but a pleasant experience, however, and maybe the reason I do not drink milk to this day. Woah, this triggered memories about hominy grits….something for a later note.

This is great, Dottie. I haven’t had powdered milk often, but it was not enjoyable when I did. I love prompts for the very reason you stated. They take us to places we might never have other otherwise visited. If you want more prompts on hand, check out I Remember. It has fifty of my best prompts ready to help you write. Be well.
