5 Foods To Live For

Idea taken from Violets weblog. She stole the idea from someone else, so to keep the thieving alive.. here goes...

Like Violets, I have had to give up hopes on a lot of foods. No more walks down to Starbucks for a hot cocoa in the Chicago winter. No more grilled cheese and tomato soup. No more cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. No more thick rich slices of moist chocolate cakes. No more large dollops of sour cream on my potato. No more PB&J on that fluffy white bread.

Giving up eggs, milk, and corn.. for most people going cold turkey on it would be like a death sentence.

5 Foods that really get me going...

Tomatoes and Pasta: Piping hot fresh from the stove pasta, topped with Pomi tomatoes, olive oil and salt. We used to make Tomatoes and macaroni all the time growing up. This is one of the few comfort foods from my childhood that I can still enjoy.

Steak: There is nothing quite like a good prime rib steak with a garlic au jus.

Baked Potato: Who needs fancy toppings. Dice up some fresh green onion, sprinkle of salt. YUM.

Bob's Peppermint Sticks: These are unbelieably easy to carry, cheap, and delicious.. oh.. and make me feel unbelievably normal.

Dagoba Chocolates: You can take away a lot from someone's diet, but don't you be messing with their chocolate. Btw Mint is the best.

..

I think I have more than 5... I could name juices, and recipies for chicken fajitas... which reminds me.. If Vegenaise ever changes their formula to include corn, I'm going to throw one helluva fit. I can formulate my own of a lot of things.. but a fake mayo (no eggs) without corn?

Mmm I'm getting hungry.
