I love food. Who doesn’t? When someone asks me what my favorite food is I literally change my answer every time because there’s no way to choose just one, although I got to admit my answer usually has to do with desserts. I like Mexican, Italian, Chinese, burgers, and anything fried. I don’t consider myself a picky eater, but there are some foods that I just cannot stand. Olives are probably my least favorite food, and I cannot fathom how someone could eat those slimy things that look like eyeballs. It may be weird, but I’m not the biggest fan of caramel, and I cannot stand cheesecake or candy corn. I love sweet things, but sometimes things just are too sweet. That’s probably why I’m in love with dark chocolate—it’s not too sweet.
So Katie Moss and I made biscuits the other day during class, and we got the recipe with lard in it. I don’t know about you, but the word lard just sounds absolutely repulsive to me. I picture some brown, thick, gooey, moldy substance that shouldn’t even be considered as an ingredient that humans put in their food and eat. However, it wasn’t that bad once I got past the name of it. It looked like a very light- colored butter, and the biscuits came out good.
My sister and I made this very interesting dessert over the weekend. We made our own cookie dough and put it in a 9 X 9 pan. Then, on top of that we put a layer of Oreos, and then brownie batter. The end product was so gooey and delicious! All the flavors came together and each complemented the other. So good!
When I went to California about 4 years ago, a food chain that’s really popular there is In and Out Burger. This place was the best burger joint that I have ever been to. It amazed me to find fresh lettuce and tomatoes being chopped as I peered over the counter, expecting to find those ingredients coming out of some pre-packaged container. The menu there literally consisted of hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, fries, and a milkshake. It was the simplest menu I have ever seen! Everything was fresh and the burger was great for the low price you got them for. I may just have to take a road trip to go back there again!
Something I love doing with my mom, though very traditional, is baking an apple pie when autumn begins. The one thing that my mom puts on the top that makes it different from any store bought pie is the crumb topping. My mom chops bits of butter into the flour/ sugar mixture. After that pie is baked, it is amazing because you have little fried bits of sugar and butter in every bite of pie, to give you a little more sweetness.
A couple weeks ago I went to Buffalo Bills in Monroe for 20 cent wing night, and the wings were pretty good. However, my teammates and I found hair in the wings. There were little pieces of hair, but there were also long pieces. The waitress said that it was just chicken hair, but I’m pretty sure that chickens don’t have hair that’s 12 inches long. I’m not trying to discourage you from eating there, but just be aware that if you go there for wings, check before you eat!
