Favorite Foods

Well, as Oliver Twist once said, "Food, glorious, food. What wouldn't I give for...that little bit more...that's all that we live for". In our house, food is definitely the tie that binds. My creativity is definitely spurred by my desire to please my family and friends. Cooking to me is being creative, it's a release, a pleasure and a joy.

The reason I have "watermelon" as my icon next to my name is because I am a watermelon junkie. It all started when I was pregnant with my second son (Born 1990). I could not eat enough of it. Then one day my grandparents come over to see me. Knowing that I am craving watermelon constantly, they bring me a half of a large melon from the store. Now at this point the normal host or hostess would have cut slices for everyone and had a nice chat, but nope not me. I got a spoon, sat on the couch, rested the watermelon right under my huge belly and just started scarfing the whole thing by myself. At the time I didn't even think twice about it. However, soon after that, my grandmother must have told that story to every person she knew. She told me that when they left my house that day, they laughed their butts off all the way home. And yes, to this day, I'll still sit on the couch with a half a watermelon and eat to my heart's delight. My family will just look at me and roll their eyes, but hey you don't mess with tree luee dee when she is eating watermelon....lol!

As far as the other food groups go, I really do love almost anything. One of the few things I dislike are....mushrooms (I know I must be nuts, but blech!). I've never been a big fan of salmon or many types of fish (unless it's totally coated in beer batter..lol. I do like shrimp, but that's it for the seafood family. Oh, and here's the kicker, I hate coffee. I know...I must be a mutant, but for caffeine, I'll take a diet pepsi anytime.

And last but not least, I truly want to thank the originators of this board. It's really been a haven for me and is so nice to have found a nice "safe" web site to visit often.
