"Letting our dogs lick the dishes before we put them in the dishwasher!"
"My dad was obsessed with air circulation in the house. Bathroom door and room doors always open unless the room is in active use. He even wanted us to sleep with the doors open, but that was a no-go once we were tweens."
"As a kid (5-14), my dad would make a 'tofu pickle salad sandwich' (try saying that five times fast), which was diced pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, other spices, and mushed up uncooked tofu in a sandwich. No one I've ever met had heard of it, but it's amazing. I just thought it was a normal dish."
Some households practiced unconventional hygiene habits, such as allowing dogs to lick dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Some families prioritized constant air circulation, keeping bathroom and room doors open except during active use, and even encouraging open-door sleeping for ventilation. Unique culinary creations appeared in some homes, including a sandwich of diced pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, spices, and mashed uncooked tofu known as a 'tofu pickle salad sandwich.' Household norms for cleanliness, ventilation, and food vary widely, and rituals that feel ordinary within one family can seem unusual to those from other households.
