Blog #63: FOOD!

Today, I guess I am going to blog about food. I am starving right now, so that is probably why I want to talk about food. I am picky eater, but I have become more adventurous in college when it comes to trying new foods. I am allergic to tree nuts, and that does not include peanuts because they are in fact a part of the legume family (pea family). My nut, sesame seed, and mango (they grow on the same tree as a certain nut) allergy sometimes stops me from being able to try many different dishes. Recently, this past year I started trying different fish and seafood because in the past I did not like it due to the smell, and I have decided I still do not like it. But, I am willing to try it again. My favorite food, which is a tough decision, would have to be Italian foods. I love love love pastas! I am willing to try any type of pasta, as long as it does not include one of my allergies. I have mentioned in one of my other blogs that I visited Italy during high school, and I fell in love with it. It mostly had to do with the environment, but the food was also to die for! I had some of the healthiest and best pasta dishes ever. They were so rich and delicious. I also had one of the best bowls of minestrone soup while I was there. The vegetables just tasted so fresh and the noodles were homemade. It just made the dish that much better. I also had a homemade Italian style pizza one night, which was also the best pizza of my life! The steak that I had in northern Italy was the type that melted in your mouth like butter. It was the leanest piece of meat I have ever had, and I have eaten a lot of steaks in my life. I love food and am opening up to a lot of new things since I have been in college.
