My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
This post is not only to wish you all a Happy 4th of July, but to also tell you about one of my favorite foods…
…french fries.
I find french fries to be one of life’s simple, yet most enjoyable pleasures. I can eat them until they literally protrude out of every orifice on my body.
I realize that french fries can be enjoyed all year round, however, there’s something about the summer holidays and my childhood memories that makes me enjoy them even more.
There's nothing like eating a nice juicy hamburger or a plump hot dog that’s been grilled over a charcoal flame, with a side of crispy french fries and an ice cold coke with TONS of ice.
(how American is that?)
This year I won’t be going to any picnics, however, I will most likely be walking over to my favorite hamburger joint; indulging in a french fry Roman-style food orgy.
The french fries at this place are beyond INCREDIBLE.
They’re always served hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned.
I love them so much that I will usually eat all of them first by slowly dipping each one into a sea of ketchup, then proceed to eat the burger.
Many years ago while I was spending a summer in Amsterdam, Holland, I discovered a unique cultural difference in the eating of french fries. The Dutch use mayonnaise rather than ketchup. And however strange it felt at first…I actually ended up enjoying the taste. In fact, when I got back to the States I not only occasionally used mayo, but I also tried dipping them in tarter sauce.
Talk about YUMMY.
(trust me. try it…you’ll like it)
Anyhoo…I hope everyone has an faaabulous 4th of July.
And please don’t forget "safety" when playing with firecrackers.
I don't want to see any missing finger photos on blog posts, ok?
Personally, this is why I only partake in sparklers - they’re safe and fun. I like to hold one in my right hand, while holding a book in my left; pretending to be the Statue of Liberty.
Oh, and before I forget….
…I want to give a BIG thanks to the people of the country who have provided me with one of my favorite foods.
The French…..
ooo la, la!
Have a French tickler weekend everyone!
