Ten Favorite Foods

Blog Challenge Day Eleven: Ten Favorite Foods

I, personally, find this almost insulting. Ten?! Really?

There is a WORLD of amazing deliciousness out there and I intend to eat my way around the world and back.

How about ten "crave-ables"?

1. Cheesy chili dip. Y'all know its what's up. Truth be told, it's actually a lovingly modified version of a recipe from Tammy D. Appropriate, as she is my partner in food-ness and willing food adventurer.

2. Tater tot casserole. Straight up shamelessly stolen from Tammy D. See above mentioned reference.

3. Fruit. I adore fruit. I love it on its own and in all manner of goodness. Besides, it is a fantastic way (when used as an appetizer) to assuage the guilt of my indulgences. It's kinda like putting black beans in something and allowing yourself to believe said beans made it instantly healthy. I'm all good with that delusion. Keep that vile melon away from me though. Pffffffttt

4. Salads. I love salads because so many ultra cool things can be added to make them more fabulous. They also, despite the amount of calories I pile on top of greens, help me labor under the delusion that I'm eating healthy. Add fruit? Awesome!! Add bacon? Utopia.

5. Bacon. Need I even expound? Moving on ...

6. Thai food. Bring on the peanut sauce and rice noodles. Don't EVEN get me started on the healing powers of Pad Thai and ALL manner of curries. Heaven.

7. Chinese food. The ultimate in comfort food. Give me a rainy day, warm blanket, lit candle, excellent book and a BIG OL mess of Chinese food ANY day. Instant docile ninja.

8. Crab legs. Don't mind if I do!! Ridiculously yummy and I have a love affair with any food that requires poor manners, a huge mess and eating with ones hands. Socially acceptable inappropriate table behavior is all good in my book.

9. Cheese. If you need an explanation you also need therapy. That is all.

10. Turnovers. My fave dessert and what I always seem to crave on a cold winter day. Again, with fruit. Throw in some coffee and a foot massage and I can pretty much guarantee that I can be bribed to do an obscene number of things.

So, add these ten to the gazillion other things I love to eat and the surface may be scratched. I'm a firm believer that food is a universal language, an ultimate gesture of love, an adventure just waiting to be born and a blissful way to return oneself to cheerful.

Cheers!
