My Favorite Foods

Let me start of with a side note to my niece, Kasey. Look I figured out how to add a picture to my blog and I fixed the blog list. Go me!


Now for a topic near and dear to my heart, FOOD. I love food. When it comes to food, I think I can speak for my entire family and say "Some people eat to live and we definitely live to eat".


Growing up with a mother from south Louisiana, who by the way is an excellent cook, it is easy to develop a real affection for food. I am not talking about just any old food. I am talking about food that makes your mouth water when you think about it.

Food I love, the short list:

fried shrimp (my mother's style) with tarter sauce made by my cousin Paula (the best)
gumbo (not the kind with tomatoes...dark brown rich and wonderful south Louisiana kind)
most sushi but, unagi is my favorite, Ichibon is my favorite sushi bar
hamburgers and hot dogs off the grill
Chinese food from Chef Lin's Hunan - the best EVER and the owner is a delight
angel hair pasta with tomato cream sauce - made better by sharing with my friend Ruth
