Last fall while hanging out with my brother-in-law he
nonchalantly listed off his top five foods. Well this one conversation threw me
into a tailspin. I wanted a top five list of my own! Unfortunately this is no
easy task for me. I take things like this very seriously. I have to weigh all
possible options. I have to think through all of the foods I’ve ever eaten in
my lifetime. It’s a big task.
I laid awake at night for the next several weeks mulling
through all of my choices. Once I had my choices I then had to put them in
order. That took another two weeks. Once I had my list pretty settled I kept it
to myself for a while. I wanted to be sure about things before I made my big
announcement.
I am proud to make my list public. This was a labor of love.
1. A really good, warm, fresh chocolate chip cookie. None of
that Chips Ahoy junk.
2. The Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. This is a dessert
at Outback Steakhouse: a warm, fresh, homemade brownie; a giant scoop of
vanilla ice cream, scoop of whipped cream, homemade chocolate sauce, and
chocolate shavings. I love the mix of hot a cold.
3. A really good peach. I’m a Georgia girl at heart, what
can I say?
4. A really good cinnamon roll. The gooeyness, the icing,
peeling back the layers… mmmm!
5. Fried okra! I guess this is the southerner in me too. I
can’t say no to fried okra.
Do you have a list???
