five food things

I was tagged a while ago by HipMamaB to list five food oddities that I have... things about me and food that you might not know. I feel terrible that it has taken me so long to respond. I haven't been ignoring you, B! It's just that I am having a hard time thinking of anything interesting to say. I'll do my best.

1.) Mint. Chocolate Mint. I love chocolate mint. Anything chocolate mint. Enough said.

2.) I always think I will not like tuna salad, and I never ever make it for myself. But I always end up liking it when I am presented with it.

3.) The best french fries in the whole wide world come from Gene's and Jude's hot dog stand in River Grove, IL. They make them from real potatoes. They have a potato slicer on the wall, they pop a potato in, pull a lever, and fries come out the bottom. And the best part is that they fry them in real lard. Honest to goodness, I've seen them place a big, fat, white chunk of lard to melt in the fryer. MMMMmmmm... probably good that I moved far away.

4.) I have rediscovered oatmeal. I love strawberries & cream instant oatmeal.

5.) I drink at least 32 ounces of tea a day. Hot tea, now that it's cold; but iced tea in the summer. Hot tea is taken with sugar only. Iced tea should never have sugar, but lemon is really nice.
