Tasty Tuesday -Week 2

Party Food!

In the spirit of a brand new year's celebration, the theme this week for Tasty Tuesday is PARTY FOOD!

Having grown up in a rather conservative environment, I admit my thoughts on the types of food and drink served at a party are very boring tame compared to what might be offered at a standard New Years celebration. When I think of parties I think of chips & salsa, popcorn, cheese & crackers, brownies, and soda. Lots of soda. Mostly Rootbeer and other caffeine-free options. If the person who hosted the parties of my youth was a real rebel we'd have the 'good stuff' like Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi! Woo!

I'm happy to announce that even without alcohol involved, the friends at these parties seemed to get as rowdy and exciting as the average person would at a party fueled by beer. Although... by the end of the night there was less nudity... and no one drove home (or into a tree) drunk.

This year I'm not sure where I'll be when we ring in 2010. There are a couple of options. I still don't drink alcohol. It's just not my 'thing'. I also don't eat a lot of sugar. DH and I have been avoiding it for over half a year and our health is vast improved. (He's lost 50 pounds!)

If I'm wild and crazy that night, it will be because I ate too many tortilla chips. WACKY ME!

Food Traditions…

I’d love to say my immediate family was full of traditional moments, but when I think of food traditions it is my Grandmother who first comes to mind. She’s in her mid-90s now (born in 1915), yet looks the same as she did when I was a child. Sometimes it seems like she’s not aging, though I know I can’t keep her forever.

“Food Traditions” as a theme makes me think of being at her house in Wyoming as a child. Baking bread together in her kitchen. Mustard Pickles. Bottled Peaches. Home-made Taffee-- when you burned your fingers to hell and back but you didn’t care because the results tasted so good!

Right now my sentimental side thinks “Grandma” when it comes to memories like this, but somehow I suspect that as I get older, and possibly have a child of my own some day, that my memories of dad and his “amazing fruit salad” and my mom and her “Stack Ons” will also come to mind. And maybe, if you are lucky, a future theme will allow me to share those recipes with you. You’ll be super happy if I do! :D

Tasty Tuesday

In an effort to write about something other than the furry kids in my life, I am going to begin participating in a Meme. It's brand new to the Meme world and covers another topic I am fond of: Food.

*pats her belly*

I've never participated in a Meme before but its very exciting to think that once a week I can see what inspiration the day's theme brings me and unload a post on this blog. Story, picture, recipe... who knows.

We shall soon find out.
