Have you been faced with this question?\u00a0What do you do when your Mom sends you a friend request\u00a0on Facebook?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Help<\/a>You’re first instinct is probably to run and hide behind your firewall, but ultimately; after going through the\u00a0The 17 Stages Of Your Mom Joining Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0you have to accept her friend or follower request. Sorry, but you just have to! Now that your mom is on Facebook, it’s time to reminisce\u00a0with her.<\/p>\n

I’m the first to admit (even to my Mom), I like #throwbackthursdays<\/a>\u00a0or TBT for short\u00a0on Facebook. My teenage daughter looks at me like I’m crazy when she asks me what that is. Does it stand for…To be told?\u00a0Truth be told?\u00a0Tell boy to? (hopefully, not the last one). Throwback Thursday means\u00a0taking a walk down\u00a0memory lane by posting old photos on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It is one of the most popular trends on social media today. Why? Simply because people love nostalgia!\u00a0If you’re old enough, looking back at what you used to look like, whom you used to spend time with, and what you used to wear is a fun way for people to remember, and laugh at, old times.\u00a0(Side note. Just learned another one from the teenager: SS = Selfie Sunday)<\/p>\n

In honor of Mother’s Day, here are a few fun throwbacks found across the web:<\/p>\n

1. The Good Wife’s Guide – Housekeeper Monthly,\u00a0May 13, 1955.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Never, ever show this to my husband!<\/p>\n

The following is from a 1950’s home economics textbook intended for high school girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life:<\/p>\n

This one is awesome. Taken from the blog Wide Lawns and narrow minds. Make sure to click through to the full article.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Grandma\u2019s City Chicken Recipe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As mentioned in an earlier post on old-school marketing, my Mom was raised above a butcher shop<\/a> in Lorain, Ohio where she learned how to make City Chicken\u00a0from her Mom. Care to guess what\u00a0it is?<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a><\/p>\n

City Chicken was developed around the 1930s as a way to knock-off chicken without spending the money on chicken. The traditional City Chicken recipe uses cubes of pork, veal and beef. The cubes of meat are skewered, breaded, fried and baked. The thought is that the meat on the skewer resembles a chicken leg. Obviously these days it would be much more economical to just make some breaded chicken legs.\u00a0However, City Chicken definitely stands on its own as a tasty, down-home comfort food. In fact, my Mom surprised us with the dish at Thanksgiving a couple years ago!<\/p>\n

\"Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n

For a modern day take on the classic recipe, here’s Food.com’s 5-star recipe on\u00a0City Chicken (But It’s Not Chicken!)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
