Most of us are never asked that question, particularly in a public setting. Oh yeah, and how could you forget to mention Hamburger Surprise?!

Food is what got me back to blogging this week. Check it out for my Ode to the Be-All-End-All of chocolate cakes. Really it was supposed to be an ode to Doug, but I know you understand. ;) www.myfriendoprah.blogspot.com Loved the post! Food is what got me back to blogging this week.

Right on. Feasting and exploring new food was a staple of my family outings, whether Mom tortured my sister and me with tabouli and dry falafels or Dad whisking us off to the Masionette in Cincinatti, RIP, for our first 3 fork, 3 spoon, 3 glass, French banquet. I agree that food triggers powerful memories - the brutally dark raspberry cake at my wedding, hell, the first time I ever had dark chocolate and raspberries back in high school at my favorite local book store, the first and only horseshoe I ever ate outside Springfield, Illinois with Dad and Uncle Toomey on my 13th birthday just before getting behind the wheel of Dad's Mark VII for 20 miles on Route 66. As an adult I look for exotic and unfamiliar dishes, spending more of my paycheck than I should. Goodness GourmetGRRL. Right on.

Although I didn't grow up feeling this way, I have transitioned into this mindset over the past 3 - 4 years. Nothing is more exciting than discovering a new great dish. Great article.
