Forget wondering if my answer will be different than last years answer to this prompt question… my answer can change from one day to the next, depending on how I feel.
I have go to favorites for when I feel sad, or lonely.
I have my list of comfort foods for the dreary days.
I have a short list of terribly unhealthy junk food choices, for game days.
See what I mean…
Bottom line is that I love food, and aside from the list of definite no no’s for my health issues, I have a pretty broad palette of tastes.
I love me some good ole soups and stews with either homemade bread or rolls.
If I get my choice of toppings, I can make a pretty large dent in a pizza!
I can be extravagant in my tastes, but also, sometimes nothing says happy like a plain and simple pb n j, if you know what I mean.
Just think of me as Templeton the rat, from Charlotte’s Web, because when it comes to noshing on good eats, all I can say is…
Food, Glorious Food!
Speaking of glorious, these cookies should fit the bill…
What exactly are the FFF Foods, you might be asking yourself? Let me give you more information to go on, otherwise, you’ll all just think I have a ridiculous way of saying that I like food. There are three types of foods for me…
When I say Farm Food, this should cover all fresh eggs, fresh meat, fresh Milk and cheese and butter… all that stuff! I was born on a farm and my tummy always goes back to what I knew from birth. I remember sitting in the strawberry fields, making myself sick on the berries that my mother was painstakingly trying to gather for making Jams.
Whatever we could not grow on our farm, we would get from all the other surrounding farms and visa versa… they bought our cows, and our milk and eggs. I was raised in the farmlands of Oregon, so there were plenty of farms to pick from, and pick we did… every year!
All these years later, I found that my body wants to go back to eating like I did back then.
I have distant memories of teething on carrots and green onions fresh from the dirt… There are very few fruits and veggies that I would turn away from… I like them raw, I like them steamed, and I even like them roasted… I will eat them by themselves, or as part of a dish… I am not partial.
Cotton Candy to make our fingers sticky…Caramel Apples with the nuts on top to pull out any loose fillings… Elephant ears, Corn on the Cob, Strawberry Scones, and who could pass up an Earthquake Burger! If you wish to have a visual that would better explain my love of fair food, I will leave you with this one…
Do you remember the rat in Charlotte’s Web? Remember that night at the fairgrounds when he did his wonderful song and dance about his love of going to the fair… That could be Me!
