Hungry?

Some of my favorite Jewish foods are Matzo Ball Soup, Brisket, Chocolate Hamenstaschen, and Challah. Some of my favorite non-Jewish food are shrimp, and ham. My tastes have not really changed over the years, except I have been more into trying different foods as of late. I went through a really picky food stage.
To me, food means celebration. In my family, we are emotional eaters. We eat when we are happy, sad, scared, etc. Unfortunately, that is why a lot of people are overweight in my family. It is hard, but I have been trying to not eat emotionally, and look at food as just fuel for my body. But it is hard with all of the fattening food that we eat to celebrate, and we have been doing this all my life.
I usually eat whatever is in the house for my meals, but I normally eat a lot of fast food, since I am on the road a lot. I should eat healthier, which is something I am trying to do.
I like to bake, and I like to make my food look pretty. And of course I like to eat it! I think the best “food” experience e I’ve had was when I went on a cruise. The food was served in such small quantities, but the quality was amazing. What was even more surprising was that I was full after this small portion. I guess quality does make a difference.
I can remember going to my Nana’s house and there was always something good cooking. Whether it was spaghetti, matzo ball soup, or biscuits, it was all so good and the house always smelled so wonderful. I miss her cooking, but most of all I miss sitting at the table with her and my Popi and talking over dinner. So that is my rant on food today.
