the best thing i ever ate

One of my besties was inspired to write about a common love of ours....

F-O-O-D. 

I do love food. But I also don't like it. I never realized until I was about 24 that I am a PICKY eater. Or rather, is particular a better word? It's not that I have expensive tastes (I shamefully have to admit that I am one to load up on caesar salad, corn and dinner rolls at buffets) I just....like what I like. And I do not like peas, carrots, bean sprouts or lima beans. I don't even like thinking about them. 

And this post is about what I do like. Well not just like, but I would even dare to say I love...
Well if you have ever eaten with me, you know I love ice cream, cheese sweet potato fries and sushi. 

HUNGRY YET?

Best breakfast i ever ate: Mission Beach Cafe's wild mushroom benedict. I loved it so much that I have dreams about it. 

best sandwich i ever ate: veggie melt from The Market Place Deli

best thing i could eat for the rest of my life: California rolls from  I think its the only thing that I can't get tired of. Whenever i can't really decide what I feel like, I find myself at the sushi section at the japanese market.

And a special shoutout to my friend Eileen....who i automatically associate with food. Some of the best meals I ever had were with her. But I'm pretty sure it was because of the company. And because she didn't judge me for eating the krispy kreme chicken sandwich. 

like Caro requested...PLEASE send me your list, so that i can go out and be filled. :)
