I'm going to do a mini-series about food this month because work is dumb right now and I'm exhausted and out of things to blog about. Surely everyone likes to chat about food. I'll do one food post a week for the next few weeks.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with homemade granola, grapes, tea
Lunch: A "salad" made of tomatoes, mini peppers, cucumbers, and carrots; tuna; guacamole; pretzels; a LaCroix
Dinner: Indian Butter Chickpeas with rice
Do you usually cook at home, eat out, or get food delivery? Or a mix of all three?
We cook at home the vast majority of the time. I think I have had lunch/dinner out maybe half a dozen times this year? Because of my husband's food restrictions, eating out just doesn't make sense for us.
What was your favorite food as a kid?
Ice cream! I mean, if I'm completely honest, it still is.
Do you share your food with others? Why or why not?
No. Get your own.
Do you like to cook? Why or why not?
It's fine. I can listen to a podcast while I cook, so it's not so bad.
Have you ever had an accident while cooking or baking?
I have burned myself a number of times and have cut myself with knives more times than I can count. But I've never set the house on fire or anything like that.
Which foods are you allergic to?
KNOCK ON WOOD I am not allergic to any food. There cannot be another person in the house with food weirdnesses.
Do you have a gluten, lactose, or other intolerance?
No, but my husband does and it makes a big difference in what I can and cannot eat at home.
What food reminds you of family?
Are you familiar with green bean casserole? Canned green beans (shudder), cream of mushroom soup (double shudder), and crispy fried onions. If you're not familiar with it, let me assure that it is as revolting as it sounds and it was served at every family holiday I ever went to with my family of origin.
But I could pound some mandarin orange Jell-O salad, so I'm not judging your family's favorite disgusting side dish.

What was your favorite food as a child?
Well, I'm sorry that work is stupid but very happy to get this series! My childhood ice cream memories are centered around walking to Baskin Robbins, and Pralines n'cream is still my favorite to this day.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind sharing as long as there's something in it for me.
I didn't grow up with green bean casserole, but there is something about the way my SIL makes it that has me obsessed. I've tried to make my own and it's just not the same. Now look, mandarin orange jello salad is not on the list of things that I am craving right now, but all the same if I came across it I'm not saying that I wouldn't have some.
[EDIT]: I just looked at the recipe and I will need to forget what the ingredients are to be able to have some. But once I forget I will not be opposed.
I loved and love apple pie. Roasted potatoes were good, especially the way that my granny made them. Of course, I still like both. I no longer eat breakfast, It’s mostly how I keep the weight off now.
ReplyDeleteI've never had green bean casserole OR sweet potato casserole OR Jello Salad. I feel so deprived :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Favourite food as a kid. Probably my mom's sweet and sour meatballs. My own kids continue to love her recipe and it's a go-to fav in my own household, served over rice and with peas and a salad on the side.
