Meat and Potatoes
Sometimes what it comes down to in order to truly enjoy a meal is to go with the basics. The basics are whatever food you basically grew up on. For me, meat and potatoes do it. Put a baked potato, mashed potatoes, or any type of potatoes next to a steak, any piece of chicken, or fish, right in front of me and you will have one happy person. Yes, all the other food is amazing, sushi, chinese food, thai, mexican food, and so on, but it just can't hit the spot like the meat and potatoes. I am sure that each and every person alive has their food that works for them. There is that one movie where anyone can cook, can't remember the name, but what I can remember is the food critic tasting that bowl of soup and how it brought him back to when he was a kid and it made him think of his mother and the fun life that he had when he was young. So, that is what this is about. Food is such an amazing thing, it makes life so fun, so enjoyable. I stinks that it can make your belly big and your hips wide, but sometimes you just say, screw it, it just tastes too good to care right not.
