This is My Food Blog.

I grew up in a family where food was not the only main course, but it was time we spent together while enjoying and indulging in food. Every meal we ate together was never around a tv but was spent with phones unanswered and us gathered around the table with our meal. My kitchen was also the dining area where we picked at food before the main meal. Our kitchen table would have a spot light from the light above and we turned off the other main lights leaving the table as a display of good food and even better conversation. My mother grew up on a farm learning to cook since she could remember and my dad grew up with a passion for food and an eye for creativity. My dad was a salesman but of course sold food products such as cheese, meats, and condensed milk. He was the top salesman and recently I just entered a job in sales but I think I would be better at sales if I was selling what he was. It may just be me but I bond with people over food. Just talking about certain dishes and recipes is how I have made new friends. I could literally talk about food for hours! (Thank god I'm not 300 pounds yet either) Maybe it's because my parents started their own restaurant and my dad got his culinary arts degree, or maybe it's because food has always been an important aspect in my life. Specifically I love food, eating it, making it, researching it, and talking about it but food is what always brought my family to the dinner table for uninterrupted time together. Now my family isn't whole anymore without my dad but we still keep the tradition alive and continue to add more to our kitchen table.
