Day 9 - I love to eat, eat, eat....

On Wednesday our women's life group had a potluck and everyone brought different and delicious food.  We had sausage, pasta salad, vegetable pizza, mini quiche (which is my favorite!!), salad with maple syrup dressing (!!!), fruit, chips and fresh guacamole, oatmeal cookies and an assortment of desserts from whole foods.  Kristina was a happy camper that night.  I love food (have you seen my Yelp reviews?) and on Day 9 I am thankful for it.  I love to cook and I love to eat.  It's probably a big problem of mine but I can't help it; God made food soooo good!  I generally like crispy foods, like fries and chicken strips, but most of all I love sauces. I will cry and throw a fit if I don't have any sweet and sour sauce when I get my chicken nuggets.  I dip pretty much anything in ranch.  After we got back from our Italy trip I was craving seafood all the time.  Even before I finish my lunch I will ask what we're having for dinner. I can eat peanuts at any time of the day.  I generally save my favorite foods for the very end, so I can savor the taste.  I like to eat a piece of starch with a piece of meat, must be my Filipino side.   Food, food, food, food, food... I think about food a lot. Mine is a happy belly.

A special thank you to my food loving friend Krystle who prepared my pasta salad for me the night before because I was too busy.  We share a love for food and when we're by ourselves it's generally the topic of conversation.  She is an amazing cook from paella to pumpkin cheesecake, garlic bread to tres leches cake.  My stomach and I are happy to have her in our lives :)

Another side note: I saved myself a few little quiches after the potluck since they are my faves but unfortunately they are also a favorite of Brian's.  So yesterday when I went to eat them I noticed they were gone... in Brian's stomach.  I felt like that little kid whose mom said she ate all his candy.  I wanted to cry and hit a wall.  Thankfully he bought me more :) Don't mess with me and my food.
