I Have Been Given Much (71-80)

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.

10 foods I am grateful for.
  •  Roma Tomatoes
I'm a tomato snob and Roma's are the only tomato I will touch, grow or buy.  With that being said just about everything I make involves a tomato in one form or another.  Fresh garden salsa is one of my favorite foods ever!
  • Popcorn
I've loved popcorn for as long as I can remember.  I have it at least once a week.
  • Potatoes
Probably my favorite food ever, there isn't any form of potatoes I don't LOVE. 
  • Pasta 
I love noodles almost as much as I love potatoes.
  • Onions and Garlic
Another staple in my kitchen, they add dimension and flavor.  Everything is better when it's slathered in garlic. 
  • Curry
I'm not sure how I went 20 something years without ever experiencing the taste of curry, but it is a staple meal in our house now.  All those spices are magic in my mouth. 
  • Flour
I love homemade bread and rolls.  I enjoy baking and you cannot bake without flour.
  • Chicken
I'm not really into red meats, so chicken is a staple part of my life. 
  • Ranch Dressing
Everything is better dipped or smothered in Ranch.
  • Dairy Products
Milk, cheese, and butter.   Everything tastes better with cheese or butter on it.
