@Anna N - I was thinking of you the other night as I was grating cheese for my spaghetti! I was eyeing my rinds to estimate when they might be ready!
RE: cracker snacks. In my childhood, saltines (Premium ONLY) were an everyday snack, whereas Ritz (the GOOD cracker) was a little more special. Of course, the raison d'etre of Ritz is cream cheese and pepper jelly. But, really, cream cheese and orange marmalade or apricot jam were good, too. Not to mention fig or FROG (Fig, Raspberry, Orange, Ginger) jam, but that wasn't until I grew up.
Classic snack:
Premium saltines. Top two are PB, bottom two just butter.
