Let's take a trip down memory lane to the late 1980s, a time when my family's dinner table was filled with culinary obsessions. You see, we had a family trait of fixating on particular foods once we discovered them. If a new soup hit the stores and I liked it, you could bet that soup would become a regular feature in my meals for weeks on end. But little did I know that the Suddenly Salad Phase of 1988 was about to descend upon us.
